["Nick Burch (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-276?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Nick Burch resolved VALIDATOR-276.
----------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 1.4

Should be fixed in r1128446.

If you create your validator as:
   validator = new UrlValidator(new String[] {"http","file"}, UrlValidator.ALLOW_LOCAL_URLS);

You can then correctly validate things like file:///etc/hosts and file:///c:/windows/hosts

> Validate a URL using the file scheme/protocol for a file on a local Linux filesystem returns false. An extensive set of tests can be found here: [^URLTest.java].
> The following code snippet is a quick proof-of-concept:
> {noformat}
> import org.apache.commons.validator.UrlValidator;
> class URLTest {
> 	public static void main(String[] args) {
> 		String url = "file:///etc/hosts";
> 		UrlValidator urlValidator = new UrlValidator(new String[] {"http", "https", "ftp", "gopher", "file"});
> 		boolean result = urlValidator.isValid(url);
> 		System.out.println(String.format("URL '%s' is valid: %s", url, result));
> 	}
> }
> {noformat}
> This issue occurs whether the scheme String[] constructor or the ALLOW_ALL_SCHEMES equivalent is used.
