There was a very good conversation in April on this list discussing URL validation, in particular, is an http URL valid if no path is specified? For example http://google.com.
See this link: http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@struts.apache.org/msg00037.html for more detail. It seemed like the consensus was that it would be good if this behavior could be turned on or off. What is the current status of this? It looks like a patch was submitted related to this issue: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28190, though it's not obvious that this would solve the problem. This patch would tell us exactly why http://google.com failed, but it does not seem to provide the flexibility to just allow http://google.com to succeed. Is there an interest in modifying the url validator to take an variable called lenientPath? That way if the path ends with a / or is null it would still pass? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
