Description:
------------
If your DNS service is incorrectly matching none existant domains (like mine is), validate::uri will return true for "http://a"

(Not that Im asking you to fix our DNS)

How about adding the option to check the uri string (something like the following)

preg_match("/^(http(s?):\\/\\/|ftp:\\/\\/{1})((\w+\.)+)\w{2,}(\/?)$/i", $url)

I understand that this is not a bug, and that a URL is not
a URI.

My suggestion was that having an optional URL check withen
the same
function would be useful.
