c.l.v.url : module documentation

validate an absolute URL.

It looks like this function has been deprecated by canonical.launchpad.interfaces.validation.

We define this as something that can be parsed into a URL that has both a protocol and a network address.

>>> valid_absolute_url('sftp://chinstrap.ubuntu.com/foo/bar')
True
>>> valid_absolute_url('http://www.example.com')
True
>>> valid_absolute_url('whatever:/uxample.com/blah')
False

# XXX: 2010-04-26, Salgado, bug=570244: This test only works against # python2.6 but we still need to run on python2.5, so we should uncomment # it only when we no longer need to run on 2.5. >>> #valid_absolute_url('whatever://example.com/blah') True

validate a url for a builder.

Builder urls must be http://host/ or http://host:port/ (with or without the trailing slash) only.

>>> valid_builder_url('http://example.com:54321/')
True
>>> valid_builder_url('http://example.com/foo')
False
>>> valid_builder_url('ftp://foo.com/')
False

Return True if the url is valid, or raise a LaunchpadValidationError
