Re: Validate URL

["Craig A. Finseth" <fin at finseth dot com>]

        ...
   UBound(s) > 0.  However, there can be exactly one "://" sequence for  
   a valid URL, so you should reject it if it does not split into  
        ...

Wrong.  There is no need for the "//":  the start of a URL is:

        <scheme>:<path>

<path> can start with any number of slashes: the specific syntax
depends on the scheme.  For example:

        mailto:abc at foo dot com

is legal, as is:

        file:///<path>

or even:

        http:abc/def

In this case, it's a relative URL and you can't resolve it without
knowing the base URL.  However, it is still a valid URL.
