Thanks Per.
I've got a decent solution using Data Detectors as per the advice from
above.
I'm just looking to at least match Twitters iOS approach, which is not
accomplished by using Data Detectors alone.
Thanks again -- Ron

I don't have an iPhone, I don't use Twitter, and we are not a paid

You no longer have to shorten an URL before sending it to Twitter...
but if you do such, realizing perfect is not the goal, you should do
reasonable dueDiligence on the quality of the URL.
Take a look at the Twitter iPhone app. Enter a URL and watch how it
deals with character counts.

All good, valid and useful points.
However, I would at least like to maintain the same functionality of
the Twitter App for iPhone.
The app does does a pretty good job of detecting and reviewing the URL
to determine if it can be assumed to be 20 characters.

As I mentioned in the reply I just posted, even looking up the hostname
is potentially problematic. One obvious case that I overlooked in my
response: mandatory hostname lookup will cripple your functionality if
you do

I don't understand what you mean by "invalid." I would expect that
NSDataDetector has been pretty thoroughly tested and will not matc

I'm building a twitter app for the iphone and want to detect valid
internet url's and set their character count to <= 20.

it finds whitespace or end of line
