[2.4.1]Invalid URL format error

1 Mar 15, 2008 18:57    

Hello, all.
# Excuse my poor English. :(

When an article is posted, the error message is shown like following:

Found invalid URL: Invalid URL format (http://r.gnavi.co.jp/b358700/).

I am afraid that regular expressions are wrong at "inc/_core/_url.funcs.php".
So, I made it correct.

But, I think that this way is not so smart.
I hope someone to write more useful regular expressions for validate URL.

Thanks.

Only with IE6 under winXP :

when i go to http://vajra.be/
or to http://vajra.be/admin/

i get

Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
the code i have when i check the source is :

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html>
  <head>
    <title>404 Not Found</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <!--
      Error documents (pages) under 512 bytes
      are ignored by the IE5+ browser, this
      comment is used to bypass this size
      ......................................
      ......................................
      ......................................
    -->
    <h1>Not Found</h1>
    <p>The requested URL was not found on this server.</p>
    <hr/>
  </body>
</html>

this problem does not exist when visited with firefox or IE7

do you think i'm concerned by this problem ?
any chance to get this fixed ?

a lot of my visitors are still using IE6 and i dont know what to do at all..

I get a "forbidden" error ( 403 or summat ), but this works in IE6 XP pro http://vajra.be/index.php

If it was me I'd be checking htaccess and validation and stuff.
