[webkit-dev] URL validating process in WebKit

[Joe Mason]

If you are using webkit to author a browser, rather than making changes to webkit itself, you should ask questions on webkit-help at lists.webkit.org.

Assuming you're writing code in a layer that has access to KURL, just pass your string to KURL and call isValid().
