RSpec url matcher.

url_matcher.rb

# Drop this into /spec/support/matchers
# Usage: result.should be_url
# Passes if result is a valid url, returns error "expected result to be url" if not.

# Matcher to see if a string is a URL or not.
RSpec::Matchers.define :be_url do |expected|
	# The match method, returns true if valie, false if not.
	match do |actual|
		# Use the URI library to parse the string, returning false if this fails.
		URI.parse(actual) rescue false
	end
end

Thanks for the matcher.

It would be nice if implemented in rspec project directly.
