Fixed XF\Validator\Url::isValid - URL link validation is too strict

[Xon]

Affected version

2.0.11

I've encountered a case where XF is not auto-linking a URL because the URL is considered malformed despite it being valid.

For example this url; https://xenforo.com//community/ will not auto-link but is a valid path to send to a webserver. That is with an empty path component when there is a schema defined.

From what I can read; this should be valid.

Is a URL with // in the path-section valid?

I have a question regarding URLs: I've read the RFC 3986 and still have a question about one URL: If a URI contains an authority component, then the path component must either be empty or begin

Thank you for reporting this issue. The issue is now resolved and we are aiming to include that in a future XF release (2.0.12).

Change log:

Relax URL validation a tiny bit, notably don't block adjacent path separators in the path section.

Any changes made as a result of this issue being resolved may not be rolled out here until later.
