Description

for validating the URL "http://somewhere.com/pathxyz/file(1).html", it returns false.

According to the RFC,
uric = reserved | unreserved | escaped
reserved = ";" | "/" | "?" | ":" | "@" | "&" | "=" | "+" |
"$" | ","
unreserved = alphanum | mark
mark = "-" | "_" | "." | "!" | "~" | "*" | "'" |
"(" | ")"

"(", ")" belongs to mark and is a valid part of uric.

Test case:

UrlValidator validator = new UrlValidator(

{"http","https"}

, UrlValidator.ALLOW_2_SLASHES);
validator.isValid("http://somewhere.com/pathxyz/file(1).html");

Issue Links

• is duplicated by: VALIDATOR-285 isValid returns false for URLs with parentheses
• is duplicated by: VALIDATOR-251 url with brackets is not validated thru URLvalidator class.
