6019	URLField does not allow URLs starting with ftp://	Soeren Sonnenburg <bugreports@…>	nobody	"basically line 409 in newforms/fields.py is too restrictive

instead of 

{{{
url_re = re.compile(
    r'^https?://' # http:// or https://
    r'(?:(?:[A-Z0-9-]+\.)+[A-Z]{2,6}|' #domain...
    r'localhost|' #localhost...
    r'\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})' # ...or ip
    r'(?::\d+)?' # optional port
    r'(?:/?|/\S+)$', re.IGNORECASE)
}}}
it should rather be
{{{
url_re = re.compile(
    r'^(ftp|https?)://' # http:// or https://
    r'(?:(?:[A-Z0-9-]+\.)+[A-Z]{2,6}|' #domain...
    r'localhost|' #localhost...
    r'\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3})' # ...or ip
    r'(?::\d+)?' # optional port
    r'(?:/?|/\S+)$', re.IGNORECASE)
}}}
to allow normal ftp://foo.bar urls - this works with validation too..."		closed	Uncategorized	dev		duplicate			Unreviewed	1	1	0	0	0	0
