Sergey Nebolsin updated VALIDATOR-248:
--------------------------------------

    Attachment: commons-validator-allow-non-iana-tlds-r592416.patch

This new patch against rev. 592416 adds the ability to allow top-level domains which are not defined by IANA (this behavior is controlled by UrlValidator.ALLOW_NON_IANA_TLDS option, which is turned off by default). It recognizes hostnames like 'localhost', 'localhost.localdomain', 'aaa', etc.

> Working on Grails we've discovered (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRAILS-1692) that commons-validator's UrlValidator rejects URLs like "http://localhost:8080/tau_gwi_00/clif/cb/19". I looked at commons-validator sources and found that any URL which contains 'localhost' as it's hostname part will be rejected.
> RFC-2396 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt) accepts 'localhost' as a valid hostname (appendix G.3 paragraph 2 says that explicitly).
> So, it would be good to have additional option (UrlValidator.ALLOW_LOCALHOST) which will control UrlValidator behavior on localhost URLs.
