Form URL validation - strange behavior

[Budry]

Hello,
if I use Form::URL rule, validator return true though string in input isn't valid url in my opinion.

$form->addText('url')
    ->addRule(Form::URL, '');

Example for input "aaaaaa" validator return true (IMHO "aaaaaa" isn't valid url)and form is sended with url "http://aaaaaa"
This is bug or some feature?

In fact, http://aaaaa is valid URL, like http://localhost. But it would be more pragmatic, if a form validator will require a dot in address.

@db: Indeed. Should I implement it into both server and client validation?

[dg]

It is question. Usually you want http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/FQDN with http(s) protocol, but there are cases, when any hostname/ipv4/ipv6 is correct (form for setting database, local pathes, ...). Maybe we should have Form::URL for http FQDN urls and Form::HOSTNAME­…

Where would be Form::HOSTNAME used?

@TomasVotruba as @dg stated mostly in forms with settings or configuration details.

:+1 for separate FQDN and HOSTNAME

What about IP(v4)? and IPv6? These could be useful too (PORT can be simulated by number with range). Also it would be good opportunity for improving IPv4 regex \\d{1,3}\.\\d{1,3}\.\\d{1,3}\.\\d{1,3} because it is a bit dull.

@mishak87 I would like to know more ideas about this topic, just to be sure, what do you expect or need.
So far we've got:

• Form::URL for urls like http://nette.org
• Form::HOSTNAME for urls like http://localhost
• Form::IP
• improve IPv4 regex

Anything else?

[mishak87]

FQDN for domains only (no protocol or port)

HOSTNAME shouldn't contain the "http://" part though? Hostname should be just "example.com" or "example"?
