I'm dealing with a complaint that REST doesn't validate metadata URLs on
layers the same way the Web UI does.
I got it raising an exception when the value can't be parsed into a URL but
found the unit tests use relative URLs in places (
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/blob/master/src/main/src/test/java/org/vfny/geoserver/util/ResponseUtilsTest.java#L61).
I checked the web UI validation and it only accepts full URLs with a schema
of HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP. It seems like this should be consistent: either
the validation should be loosened to allow relative URLs, or the unit tests
should only be using full URLs.
I couldn't find any indication of what's correct in the OGC specs although
that seems to me it would imply inclusiveness.
