I think the regular expression you are looking for is:

\w+\:\/\/[^\s]+

EDIT: Probably get away with using the following, however I have a habit of escaping the characters:

\w+://[^\s]+

You can test this using the rex command, like:

<yourBaseSearch> | rex field=_raw "(?P<url>\w+\:\/\/[^\s]+)" | table _time url _raw

(Don't really need the table part, just makes it easier to match it up).

Once you have your regular expression correct, you can just paste that into the IFX (Interactive Field eXtractor).

Additionally, for testing regular expressions, the following site is very helpful:

Hope this helps.
