Re: URL pattern for validation

[Jeff Beal]

I ended up getting curious, so rather than just speculate, I dug into 
both RFC's, it looks like I was wrong.  According to the both RFC's 
(1738 and 3986) the '/' is not required for an empty path in a URL/URI. 
 Sorry, Daniel, no help here.

I think that, strictly speaking, a URL needs at least the first '/' in
the path portion.  Have you tried http://www.maintainfit.com/ ?  When in
doubt, check the RFC: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1738.html

FYI, there are more recent standards documents than RFC 1738 around
the syntax of URLs and URIs ... in particular you'll want to review
the following document:
  http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3986.html
for the latest updates.
