The double click behavior doesn't care about URLs at all. It considers
certain characters as part of a word, certain others are not. There were
many debates specifically around whether ':' should be a word character
or not by default.

Unfortunately the setting is not available on the UI; see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730632#c33 for how to set
this hidden value.

Title:
  double clicking on a URL drops the protocol from the URL

Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading to 15.10 beta from 15.04, when I double click on a
  URL, I lose most of the protocol, e.g. if I type
  'http://www.ubuntu.com/' into a terminal and double click, what gets
  selected (and entered into the copy buffer) is '//www.ubuntu.com'
