4144357970 is a "valid" QUrl?

Pippin

Hello,

this is a continuation of this thread that is now solved.

The following line is run at the start of my program:

QObject::connect(someQTextBrowser, SIGNAL(anchorClicked(const QUrl&)), this, SLOT(openUrl(const QUrl&)));

Some time later, the following line is run:

someQTextBrowser->append("<a href=" + QString::number(someQuint32) + ">" + someQString + "</a>");

which creates and appends an url. When I click the url, the following slot is called:

void MyInterface::openUrl(const QUrl& foo) const
{
	if (foo.isValid())
		QDesktopServices::openUrl(foo);
	else
		std::cout << foo.url().toStdString() << std::endl;
}

Problem, no matter what quint32 I put in my urls, they are always considered "valid," which makes no sense to me. How did this happen?

Hi
I think by valid it means it do not contains any invalid letters
https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#urls
Not if it points to something real.

So 4144357970 is just fine as it could be used as url.
since all digits are allowed.

That would make sense, thanks @mrjj.
