Ruby on Rails

Here's a gem based on an earlier plugin for this sort of thing:

https://github.com/kete/http_url_validation_improved

It's not without issues though. The big one is that URLs these days
can have unicode in them and the URI library (at least in Ruby 1.8.7)
treats them as invalid. Feel free to fork and improve.

Cheers,
Walter
