Mykel Alvis commented on MPIR-57:
---------------------------------

Just started encountering this when I switched from internal IP addresses to alias'ed hostnames that aren't FQDNs.

I agree with Mike.  It's nice that getValidHref uses Validator,etc, to determine an actual href, but we're (usually) smart enough to put in something that makes sense here and it's not particularly critical if we don't.   It's not even relevant that the scheme be httpx, as far as I'm concerned.  What if I want to do a file: based version?   I'm not sure how I would, but it's impossible with this validation in place.

> We are trying to create internal site documentation for our projects with links to our Confluence user home pages:
> <developer>
>   <id>mperham</id>
>   <url>http://wiki:9090/display/~mperham</url>
> </developer>
> But the project info report does not link this URL.  If I add .com or .org to the end of it, it does link so I suspect the validation is just a little over-zealous.  It should just link whatever the user puts in there.
