Apache Commons UrlValidator

I have the following java code:

UrlValidator urlValidator = new UrlValidator();
boolean validUrl = urlValidator.isValid("http://www.google.com");
System.out.println("result: " + validUrl);

When I run the above code, I always get:

result: false

Why does apache commons UrlValidator not regard "h开发者_高级运维ttp://www.google.com" as valid? If I replace "http://www.google.com" with "http://www.google.com/index.php", I get "result: true". However, my users do have a legitimate use for submitting URLs which do not end in a specific filename.

You are using older version of commons validator. This bug was resolved post release 1.2.

Try using latest validator version(1.3.1) and it should work fine.
