Re: autoLinkUrls in text helper

i did partly succeed
http://pastebin.com/NfmDC27L

the protocol is stripped and the length is shortened (if desired)
BUT it appends the additional option keys/values as attributes of the
link tag:

<a href="http://www.cot.ag/cuIb2Q/eruierieriu-erjekr" stripProtocol=0"
maxLength="12">
etc

Details:

Equal expectation fails at character 69 with [Text with a url <a
href="http://www.cot.ag/cuIb2Q/eruierieriu-erjekr">www.cot.ag/c...</a>
and more] and [Text with a url <a href="http://www.cot.ag/cuIb2Q/
eruierieriu-erjekr" maxLength="12">www.cot.ag/c...</a> and more] at [H:
\...\site\plugins\tools\tests\cases\helpers\text_ext.test.php line 44]

How can i remove them before the link is created but after i passed
them to the static prepareLinkName() function?
thx
