Hyphenating URLs

[Andrew Bardsley]

Does anyone know of an easy way for me to get URLs to
break up correctly over a number of lines but without lout
inserting hyphens.  I have a number of URLs in a Reference list
for my thesis and I would like them to be able to span two
lines kind of:

Name, Institution blah blah http://somewhere.somewhereelse/
dir/dir/dir/file

I have tried placing hypenation points `&-' after each slash
but I would ideally like a way of specifying that URLs not
be broken by hyphens.  Is their a language setting for this?
(should there be)
