validate that URI is valid http URI
- by Alfred
Hi all,
My problem:
First of hopefully this is not a
duplicate, but I could not find the
right answer(right away). I would like
to validate that an URI(http) is valid
in Java. I came up with the following
tests but I can't get them to pass.
First I used getPort(), but then
http://www.google.nl will return -1
on getPort(). This are the test I
want to have passed
Test:
@Test
public void testURI_Isvalid() throws Exception {
assertFalse(HttpUtils.validateHTTP_URI("ttp://localhost:8080"));
assertFalse(HttpUtils.validateHTTP_URI("ftp://localhost:8080"));
assertFalse(HttpUtils.validateHTTP_URI("http://localhost:8a80"));
assertTrue(HttpUtils.validateHTTP_URI("http://localhost:8080"));
final String justWrong =
"/schedule/get?uri=http://localhost:8080&time=1000000";
assertFalse(HttpUtils.validateHTTP_URI(justWrong));
assertTrue(HttpUtils.validateHTTP_URI("http://www.google.nl"));
}
This is what I came up with after I removed the getPort() part but this does not pass all my unit tests.
Production code:
public static boolean validateHTTP_URI(String uri) {
final URI u;
try {
u = URI.create(uri);
} catch (Exception e1) {
return false;
}
return "http".equals(u.getScheme());
}
This is the first test that is failing because I am no longer validating the getPort() part. Hopefully somebody can help me out. I think I am not using the right class to validate url's??
P.S:
I don't want to connect to the server
to validate the URI is correct. At
least not yet in this step. I only
want to validate scheme.
