Subject:

Authority-less HTTP/HTTPS URIs are pulled in.

Hi, Presently, URI::Find::Simple pulls in URIs such as 'http://' or 'http://:80' which lack an authority and thus have no useful purpose. It would be appreciated if such URIs were either passed over, or if a similar API existed for the subset of URIs which are also URLs. (I am currently manually filtering invalid URLs in my script, but I feel it is more appropriate for that to be done or doable via the module, rather than code calling upon it.) I look forward to working with you in this matter and hope we can come to an agreeable solution. --Kiyoshi Aman

I'm sorry - I'm not willing to fix this. URI::Find::Simple is the simplest possible wrapper over URI::Find, and fixing this bug would entail adding parameters to the find call, or changing the API in a backwards-incompatible way. If you want to do anything over what this module does, I'd suggest you just wrap URI::Find directly, and save yourself a dependency. On Thu Feb 23 08:38:07 2012, AERDAN wrote: Show quoted text
