[Netarchivesuite-devel] Domain name validity check

[nicolas.giraud at bnf.fr]

Hi,

I am currently in the process of compiling domains and seeds to include in 
out broad crawl, and I dont not quite understand why doamin names with a 
"-" (not heading or trailing) are considered as invalid. The code defines 
the regexp DomainUtils#DOMAINNAME_CHAR_REGEX_STRING that lists invalid 
chars according to RFC3490. However domains such as 
"www.editions-debaisieux.fr" are perfectly valid (and registered) and 
still do not pass NAS validation... Why not simply relying on 
java.net.URL, which would also avoid having to hard-code a bunch of TLDs 
(some of which actually being primary domains) in the settings? I am 
rather perplex, this validation is actually causing me a lot of trouble. 
Would it be ok to change the code?

Regards,

Nicolas
