#9739 - URLValidator now allows two slashes in the path component of the URL

[luddaniel]

What this PR does / why we need it:

URLValidator now allows two slashes in the path component of the URL

Which issue(s) this PR closes:

Closes #9739

Special notes for your reviewer:

From what I see, URLValidator is used to :

• validate url type of field
• validate url filled via deaccession dialog

As discussed in #9739, a user is able to provide "valid" syntax url that can be "invalid" when used, so allowing two slashes in the path component of the URL seems to not bring any danger.

Suggestions on how to test this:

• Save a dataset with an url in a url field type
• Deaccessionate a dataset and specify a forwarding url

Example of allowed url : https://archive.softwareheritage.org/swh:1:dir:561bfe6698ca9e58b552b4eb4e56132cac41c6f9;origin=https://github.com/gem-pasteur/macsyfinder;visit=swh:1:snp:1bde3cb370766b10132c4e004c7cb377979928d1;anchor=swh:1:rev:868637fce184865d8e0436338af66a2648e8f6e1

Does this PR introduce a user interface change?

No

Is there a release notes update needed for this change?

No

Looks good. FYI - I did a quick check and UrlValidator is also used to decide whether the forwarding URL for a deaccessioned dataset is OK. I think allowing two slashes there is also OK, but we should be aware that this PR as is will change that as well.

The ec2 instance didn't spin up. I just triggered another run of the API tests: https://jenkins.dataverse.org/job/IQSS-Dataverse-Develop-PR/job/PR-9750/2/
