Validate URLs as URLs in API #293
Conversation
Now it will complain if you don't enter a full URL with protocol, matching the old UI behavior. Without this change it doesn't care and just normalizes whatever you input.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Does this allow an empty url? I seem to recall we discussed at some point we might want to create a puzzle placeholder where the url was left blank (and perhaps filled in later).
I'm actually fine with requiring a scheme prefix, as in practice, we'll be copying and pasting URLs from the browser, and the http/https will automatically be included when copying. But if you want to support more user-friendly inputs like foo.com (which makes testing slightly easier), you could do something like auto-prepend http:// when it's missing. Then you can still use URLValidator. (If the URL really should be https://, one can always edit the URL after the puzzle is created.)
