Validate a URL using regular expressions

madskristensen.dk — Today, I had to build web form that took user input from standard ASP.NET input controls. In one of the text boxes the user must to enter a valid URL, so I had to make some validation logic. But first of all, I had to find out what kind of URL’s we would accept as being valid. Based on those rules, I wrote these regular expressions
