static Http::isValidURI ( $uri )

static

Checks that the given URI is a valid one.

Hardcoding the protocols, because we only want protocols that both cURL and php support.

file:// should not be allowed here for security purpose (r67684)

Todo:: FIXME this is wildly inaccurate and fails to actually check most stuff

Parameters

string $uri URI to check for validity

Returns: bool

Parameters

string	$method	HTTP method. Usually GET/POST

Possible keys for the array: timeout Timeout length in seconds connectTimeout Timeout for connection, in seconds (curl only) postData An array of key-value pairs or a url-encoded form data proxy The proxy to use. Otherwise it will use $wgHTTPProxy (if set) Otherwise it will use the environment variable "http_proxy" (if set) noProxy Don't use any proxy at all. Takes precedence over proxy value(s). sslVerifyHost Verify hostname against certificate sslVerifyCert Verify SSL certificate caInfo Provide CA information maxRedirects Maximum number of redirects to follow (defaults to 5) followRedirects Whether to follow redirects (defaults to false). Note: this should only be used when the target URL is trusted, to avoid attacks on intranet services accessible by HTTP. userAgent A user agent, if you want to override the default MediaWiki/$wgVersion
string	$caller	The method making this request, for profiling
