Been a while since I looked at this now, but it sounds like the “find” method probably doesn’t really do a good job at validating the URLs on its own.

I’ll have a look when I get a chance.

Very good class! I have been searching all day for something that did just this thing! I do have a bug for you. It includes … in it’s searching sometimes so the phrase:

thinking about taking a walk…don’t judge please

Returns:

FOUND URL: ‘walk…don’ at [24-33]

It doesn’t validate it, but does find it.

I’m posting this as a comment since I don’t know if you’re contact form actually works.

I updated you source so that it handles multiple identical domains correctly, you can view the source here:

I fixed the issue with a dashed URL. It was a bug in the validate method, so the class would find the URL using the find() method but not properly validate it.

Anyways; Fixed now. Keep the bugs coming. :)

try this url:

http://co-op.cl/

false, and in fact it exists.
I’m not a regex guy to solve this out….
anyway, still pretty cool stuff..
