Hi @ekumahost,

I was facing the same issues with valid-url but also validator so I decided to build a module as reliable as possible strictly based on RFC-3986: https://github.com/adrienv1520/node-uri

The main features of this project are:

• parse any URI (URNs, URLs, URIs with IDNs support, etc.);
• get the safe Punycode ASCII or Unicode serialization of a domain;
• check an URI, HTTP/HTTPS/Sitemap URL, IP, domain is valid with clear checking errors;
• encode/decode an URI, HTTP/HTTPS/Sitemap URL.

I hope it could help you.
