I tried to add a URL into the defaultPadText in the settings.json and restart etherpad, but it fails:

[2011-11-29 08:23:25.941] [ERROR] console - There is a syntax error in your settings.json file

URLs should be valid JSON, so I'm not sure I understand why this is happening. I tried to escape the slashes, but it made no difference.
