    @z3dy depends if you are talking about the function or in general which wasn't clarified.

    Just curious, why is that bothering you, or in what situation was that bothering ?

    @thecritic I copied an URL into a text field. The validation failed, because I copied a space before the URL.

    Dear backend devs, please clean up your input before you use it. I can fix it in the front end, but if something else somehow gets to your api, it will still flip the fuck out and risk sql injection to boot.
