Determines if the specified string represents a valid FTP or HTTP URL.
Syntax
object.ValidateUrl( FileUrl [, ServerType ] )
Parameters
- FileUrl
- A string which specifies the complete URL you wish to validate.
- ServerType
- An optional integer value which specifies the type of URL which should
be validated. If this parameter is omitted, the method will use the

should be validated.
| Value |
Description |
| fileServerUndefined |
The server type has not been defined and either FTP or HTTP URLs
will be accepted. |
| fileServerFtp |
The FileUrl parameter must be a valid FTP URL,
including both standard and secure connection schemes. |
| fileServerHttp |
The FileUrl parameter must be a valid HTTP URL,
including both standard and secure connection schemes. |
Return Value
A value of True is returned if the string represents a valid URL.
A value of False indicates the string is not a valid URL.
Remarks
The ValidateUrl method will check the value of a
string to ensure that it represents a complete, valid URL using
either a standard or secure FTP or HTTP scheme. This method will not
establish a connection with the server to verify that it exists,
it will only attempt to resolve the host name to an IP address.
If the remote host is specified as an IP address, this method
will check to make sure that the address is formatted correctly.
Note that if you wish to specify an IPv6 address, you must
enclose the address in brackets.
Unlike the URL property, this method will not throw an
exception if the specified URL is invalid.
