HTTP url validation plugin improved plugin

Plugin details

HTTP URL Validation is a Rails plugin that allows you to validate a URL entered in a form. It validates if the URL exists by hitting it with a HEAD request. There's the option to also check that the URL returns content of
a specified type

Documentation

Install the plugin: 
ruby script/plugin install https://modzer0.cs.uaf.edu/repos/hank/code/http_url_validation_improved/

Check for content type: 

validates_http_url :url, :content_type => "text/html"



Do not check for content type, just make sure the site is accessible: 

validates_http_url :website



Make sure there is a DNS entry for a domain 

validates_http_domain :domain		
# Domain must be in 'www.site.com' for or 'site.com' form.  No http://, no path.



This example will make sure the value entered for the URL field points to a publicly accessible HTML page, and the photo field points to an image: 

validates_http_url :image_url, :content_type => "image"
# :content_type checks for a matching substring, so any image will validate
