in a shorten-er built by web2by i want to validate url's first, if it's not valid goes back to the first page with an error message. this is my code in controller (mvc arch.) but i don't get what's wrong..!!
import urllib
def index():
return dict()
def random_maker():
url = request.vars.url
try:
urllib.urlopen(url)
return dict(rand_url = ''.join(random.choice(string.ascii_uppercase +
string.digits + string.ascii_lowercase) for x in range(6)), input_url=url)
except IOError:
return index()
