          Description

          A Url of the form "http://hostname" is not validated, when the hostname is simple, i.e does not have any dots.

          I think this is a valid URL and it should pass validation.

          The bug is in UrlValidator::isValidAuthority(), line 382

          String topLevel = domainSegment[segmentCount - 1];
          if (topLevel.length() < 2 || topLevel.length() > 4)

          { return false; }

          In this case, topLevel = "hostname"

            Patch which adds a test case (variation on VALIDATOR-248) to show this issue was addressed with the fix to that issue.

            As the test case shows, this can probably be considered a duplicate (or fixed indirectly by) VALIDATOR-248.

            I've added a new option ALLOW_LOCAL_URLS in r1128396. With this set, http://localhost/ and http://machinename/ are accepted (the previous behaviour of them not being accepted remains if this isn't set)

            I've also added your test, with a few tweaks to use the option, thanks for that
