> Validate a URL using the file scheme/protocol for a file on a local Linux filesystem returns false. The following code snippet proves it:
> import org.apache.commons.validator.UrlValidator;
> class URLTest {
> public static void main(String[] args) {
> String url = "file:///etc/hosts";
> UrlValidator urlValidator = new UrlValidator(new String[] {"http", "https", "ftp", "gopher", "file"});
> boolean result = urlValidator.isValid(url);
> System.out.println(String.format("URL '%s' is valid: %s", url, result));
> }
> }
> This issue occurs whether the scheme String[] constructor or the ALLOW_ALL_SCHEMES equivalent is used.
