About URL Validation

What is URL Validation?

URL validation checks if a web address follows proper syntax rules and optionally tests if the resource is accessible. It verifies protocol, domain, path structure, and query parameters.

URL Components

  • Protocol: https, http, ftp, file
  • Domain: example.com, subdomain.example.com
  • Port: :8080, :3000 (optional)
  • Path: /path/to/resource
  • Query: ?param=value&other=data
  • Fragment: #section-anchor

Validation Types

  • Format Check: Syntax and structure validation
  • Accessibility: HTTP response status check
  • SSL Validation: Certificate verification
  • Redirect Following: Final destination check

Common URL Formats

  • Web: https://www.example.com
  • API: https://api.service.com/v1/endpoint
  • File: https://cdn.example.com/file.pdf
  • Secure: https://secure.payment.com

HTTP Status Codes

  • 200-299: Success responses
  • 300-399: Redirection responses
  • 400-499: Client error responses
  • 500-599: Server error responses

Best Practices

  • Use HTTPS: Secure connections preferred
  • Encode Special Characters: %20 for spaces
  • Validate Input: Check user-provided URLs
  • Handle Redirects: Follow 301/302 responses
