This is a duplicate of #1875

The spaces in the URL should have been encoded to '%20' but not all have, causing the validator to (in my opinion correctly) return false.

Btw; When I got a notification about this issue in my mail, Gmail on Android also did not recognize it as a valid URL.

[prionkor]

thanks, I agree with you..

[prionkor]

@WikiRik This is another example form google, that validator.js showing as invalid. It doesn't have space.

Is there a way to find out why it is failing?

[WikiRik]

You can just debug it, but I expect the URL is too long and therefore marked as invalid

[prionkor]

okay, I did a test with php, and it passed as valid:

if (filter_var($url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) {
  echo("$url is a valid URL");
} else {
  echo("$url is not a valid URL");
}

[prionkor]

Thank you for the hint, I see there is a limit for url length. I have set validate_length to false. now it is working.
