urlish

This is a simple module that parses an input string to determine if it matches with a typical url syntax. This is not a strict URL parser, and if that behaviour is desired I would recommend looking at the core node url module.

This module was written to satisfy the use case of getit where url-like syntaxes are used.

So what is URLish?

In very simple terms we are looking for something that matches the following format:

[scheme]://[hostname](:[port])?(/[path])?

At this stage, things like usernames and passwords are not looked at and no querystring or hash parsing is attempted either.
