urlish

This is a simple module that parses an input string to determine if it
matches with a typical url syntax. This is not a strict URL parser, and if
that behaviour is desired I would recommend looking at the core node
url module.

This module was written to satisfy the use case of
getit where url-like syntaxes
are used.


 

So what is URLish?

In very simple terms we are looking for something that matches the
following format:

``
[scheme]://hostname?(/[path])?
``

At this stage, things like usernames and passwords are not looked at
and no querystring or hash parsing is attempted either.
