URLField controls the text even if verify_exists and required are False

Hi,

I have and URLField in user membership form, it's not optional and the initial value is ​http:// When I blank homepage input as is, django gives error "Enter a valid URL" even if I set required false. in forms.py line 287, super function is called regardless of controlling this option.

The clean_* methods are called after the field's own clean method so you're getting it too late. You'd have to subclass URLField to do what you want to do.
