Re: URL pattern for validation

[Daniel Watrous]

I have found that the only url that passes validation in the struts package 
is a url that references a specific page.  For example 
http://www.maintainfit.com/ will not pass but 
http://www.maintainfit.com/index.php will pass.  I suspected that the 
nofragments set to false would allow the first url, but even with that it 
doesn't.  I think that I will end up using a regexp instead.

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.

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.
