Issue Summary
Very helpful module (took me forever to find it though!).
Just installed it on a fresh Drupal install. The problem is that it will not validate URLs for multiple values. It will validate the first URL, but not any subsequent URLs.
Thoughts...?
Thanks much!!!

What do you mean, it will not validate URLs for multiple values. What values are you entering, and how is it behaving? CCK handles multiple-value-fields, and this is the first I"ve heard of it.
Feel free if you would like to make a screenshot of the form with the error message if you think it would help.

Sorry for the lack of clarity...
I have a Link CCK field set up to have 2 values for a node type. If an incomplete URL is entered into the first line when creating that node type, the correct error message pops up telling me it's not in a correct URL format. However if an incomplete URL is entered into the 2nd URL value (for instance just "google" or "www.google"), it is allowed to be saved as-is, no error or validation method.
Does that make sense? I have not done extensive testing, ie more than 2 values etc. Would that be helpful? Thanks!!

I found the same issue. Having a link field with multiple values, only the 1st URL is validated.

Well, that sounds pretty odd.
Thanks for pointing it out.

Same problem faced even with single value, there might be some problem in 'link_validate_url' function.
In field setting, just don't set it as required to re-generate the problem.
Entered 'asdf' in link URL value but validation didn't work.
Then changing link URL value to 'asdf asdf', notice the space in value, generates the expected 'Not a valid URL' error.
* Field not-required
* Number of values: Any value more than 1, also Unlimited
* Validate URL enabled
* Optional URL disabled
* Link Title: Optional Title
* Allow user-entered tokens disabled
* Link Target: Default(no target attribute)
* Rel Attribute, Additional CSS Class, and Link 'title' Attribute blank
Hope above details will work to track the problem.

Dear followers of this issue: please read the project page info of link module for further validation issues. There is already an issue to collect and discuss all possible validation scenarios in general. That's why I will mark this one here as duplicate. I need all concentration inside the ONE and only discussion to move forward. After a D7 implementation we will provide a D6 backport.
Explanation: There are too many corner cases and validation wishes of users to implement them all serially one after the other. We would have a 40 lines cluttered settings form for validation methods, conflicting with each other randomly. I think, the right way is to find a maybe more complex but all embracing new configuration method, which lets the admin better decide, how and when to validate the url. Including a good description which helps to set it up. This will surely lead to a new branch
