Function isValid for URLs does not validate SharePoint/Office365 links properly

Description

Issue

The following function returns false, but should return true:

isValid("url", "https://companyname.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/site-collection-name/subsite-name/Ds10TaJKAKhMp1hE0B_42WcBVhTHD3EQJKWhGprKFP3vpQ?e=14ohmf")

Details

SharePoint/Office365 allows users to share items via URL. These generated URLs contain a simple combination of characters that are returned invalid by isValid. Example URL:

https://companyname.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/site-collection-name/subsite-name/Ds10TaJKAKhMp1hE0B_42WcBVhTHD3EQJKWhGprKFP3vpQ?e=14ohmf

In this example, the :f:, which denotes a shared folder, is considered invalid. Other example designations used by SharePoint:

  • :w: for Word

  • :x: for Excel

  • :p: for PowerPoint

  • :b: for PDF

, I've checked this ticket and the issue was solved in lucee latest version 5.3.8.129-SNAPSHOT. Now, isValid for URL works fine. And I added a fixed version too.

Just to add, this is an issue I’ve run up against as well. It’s the colon, as Pothys has fixed in his pull request.

Wikipedia URLs such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lucee fail validation, as do FW/1 URLs that commonly use colons for subsystems.

I've checked and confirmed the issue that happened on lucee and also I added a fix for this ticket.
