URLValidator

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently it is hard to find a URL-Validator that works properly. Java's  
java.net.URL(String)-Constructor doesn't throw a MalformedUrlException in any 
case and org.apache.commons.validator.routines.UrlValidator ain't better (e.g. 
"http://usr:pwd@localhost" validates always to false).

I think validating URLs is a common task so it could find a home in guava? It 
would be nice to see a class that provides also methods to validate specific 
parts of a URL like username,password, query, fragment and so on, without a 
lookup or other network-operations.

This is definitely something we want to do. It will just be a while. We have to 
sort through a number of issues with our existing classes (and maybe cut some 
dependencies).
