Validate Url Issues

[Meir Roth]

Two issues found with the Validate Url algorithm:

1. A string is considered to be valid URL if it starts with www. even though it does not have https

• validateUrl('www.google.com') // returns true
• validateUrl('google.com') // returns false

2. A valid URL returns false if starts with www like:

• validateUrl('https://wwwdomain.com') // returns false

is it still open?

[Lars Müller]

Yesn't? The solution might be a removal of the "algorithm" though.

Hmm. None of those test cases are valid email addresses.

validateEmail('www.google.com') // returns true ❓

[Meir Roth]

@trasherdk Oops... It's a typo. Should say validateUrl('www.google.com').
Fixed now.

Yes, but bear in mind that validating URLs is much more complex than presented here:
