Generating invalid url

[Anna Afonchenko <an...@ubaccess.com>]

Hi All.
I have a pipeline that matches some http request with parameter indicating some url.
For example:
the http request is:
cocoon/testing?url=www.yahoo.com

<map:match pattern="testing">
    <map:act type="request">
        <map:parameter name="parameters" value="true"/>
        <map:generate src="http://{url}"/>
        <map:transform src="stylesheet.xsl"/>
        <map:serialize type="html"/>
    </map:act>
</map:match>

How I can check that the supplied url is valid?
Does generator throw some error that I can then catch in map:handle-errors?

Thank you very much for help.
Anna

What's an invalid URL?
- URL syntax violated (see http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt)
- hostname DNS lookup failed
- server not reachable
- content not XML

Just try it. It may take some time, perhaps exceeding client time out,
if the server is not reachable or just very slow.
