[OS X TeX] A \url problem

[Vic Norton]

I don't understand, Peter. I attached the PDF that has the links. You  
should be able to see everything there, where the URLs are pointing,  
etc.

I am simply trying to indent a long URL that has to break. Ideally it  
should break at a forward slash. I've tried to force that in my example.

Here is the complete code of my example. It's as simple as I can make  
it. The PDF is attached---again.

### code begins here ###
%%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

\documentclass[12pt, letterpaper]{article}

\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{letterpaper, nohead,
    hmargin={1.5in, 1.5in}, vmargin={1.5in, 1.0in},
}
\usepackage[parfill]{parskip}
\setlength{\parskip}{2.0ex plus0.5ex minus0.2ex}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage[colorlinks=true,urlcolor=blue]{hyperref}

\begin{document}

I'd really like to indent the URL like this.\\
\hspace*{4.0ex}
\begin{minipage}[t]{4.0in}
\href{http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/pricedistrib.csv}
{\ttfamily
http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/\linebreak%
pricedistrib.csv
}
\end{minipage}

It does look right, but clicking on the top line of the ``URL'' takes
you to an inaccessible directory. Only the bottom line works the way it
should.

On the other hand clicking anyplace on the ``hello'' link below works
perfectly.

I'd really like to indent the URL like this.\\
\hspace*{4.0ex}
\begin{minipage}[t]{4.0in}
\href{http://vic.norton.name/finance-math/notionportf/pricedistrib.csv}
{\ttfamily
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello
}
\end{minipage}\\[1.0ex]

What is the problem here? What am I missing?

Thanks for any advice you can give me.
