[Htmlparser-developer] malformed url

[Amit R. <ra...@ma...>]

hi,

 =09trying to parser "www.google.com" gives <<Error! URL www.google.com=20
Malformed!>> on linux.

=09if i give "http://www.google.com", it works.

1. is this behaviour expected?

=09following code throws exception:
=09URL url =3D new URL(resourceLocn); in HTMLParser, method openConnectio=
n()=20
bombs. Although API explains why this should bomb but I wanted to know=20
whether this is expected?

If not, should we append "http://" to the front.

Somik,

 This is another reason why HTMLParser should throw exception. If you see=
=20
HTMLStringFilter example, even though HTMLParser has bombed, there is no =
way=20
in which HTMLStringFilter can know it should stop instead it goes on with=
=20
rest of its processing.

Regards,
Amit.
