This does appear to be a regression. This is a change that only took effect in Django 1.8, if I understand correctly.
There's a related ticket <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/25452#comment:2> and I had a brief discussion about this on #django-dev; please do feel free to file a ticket against upstream and a patch can probably be backported. I'd prefer to see it fixed in Django upstream first, though. ** Bug watch added: Django Bug Tracker #25452 http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/25452 ** Changed in: python-django (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: python-django (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1528710 Title: overly agressive URLField validation causes failures To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-django/+bug/1528710/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
