Flex 3 Regular Expression Problem
- by Tommy
I've written a url validator for a project I am working on. For my requirements it works great, except when the last part for the url goes longer than 22 characters it breaks. My expression:
/((https?):\/\/)([^\s.]+.)+([^\s.]+)(:\d+\/\S+)/i
It expects input that looks like "http(s)://hostname:port/location".
When I give it the input:
https://demo10:443/111112222233333444445
it works, but if I pass the input
https://demo10:443/1111122222333334444455
it breaks. You can test it out easily at http://ryanswanson.com/regexp/#start. Oddly, I can't reproduce the problem with just the relevant (I would think) part /(:\d+\/\S+)/i. I can have as many characters after the required / and it works great. Any ideas or known bugs?
