           Summary: URL regular expression fails on long strings
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: patrick at chromium.org


The following regular expression fails if given a string longer than 450
characters:

 
/^((\w+):\/\/)(([^:]+):?([^@]+)?@)?([^\/\?:]*):?(\d+)?(\/?[^\?#]+)?\??([^#]+)?#?(.+)?/

This regex is used by the Selenium project to determine whether a string is a
valid URL.

I have observed this in Safari 3.1.2 (on Windows) and Google Chrome/Chromium.

This is very possibly the same as:
