This module collects common URI validation routines to make input validation,
|
||
|
|
and untainting easier and more readable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All functions return an untainted value if the test passes, and undef if it
|
||
|
|
fails. This means that you should always check for a defined status
|
||
|
|
explicitly. Don't assume the return will be true.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The value to test is always the first (and often only) argument.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are a number of other URI validation modules out there as well.
|
||
|
|
This one focuses on being fast, lightweight, and relatively 'real-world'.
|
||
|
|
i.e. it's good if you want to check user input, and don't need to parse
|
||
|
|
out the URI/URL into chunks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Right now the module focuses on HTTP URIs, since they're arguably the most
|
||
|
|
common.
