Indeed, something like =http://a.com= should work, this is a bug.
I have just fixed it.

Using "=" does have a specified markup, but you can change it
or add a new markup by customizing `org-emphasis-alist'.

For example, you could make it look like this:

(("*" bold "<b>" "</b>")
  ("/" italic "<i>" "</i>")
  ("_" underline "<span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">" "</ 
span>")
  ("=" org-code "<code>" "</code>" verbatim)
  ("~" org-verbatim "<code>" "</code>" verbatim)
  (";" org-verbatim "<i>" "</i>" verbatim))

where I have added the last line, so that

  ;http://google.com;

will be interpreted verbatim, and typeset in italic.
