pub fn validate_link_field(value: &str) -> Result<()>Expand description
Validates a value used as an item-level link field.
Per RSS 2.0 §5.7 item-level link URLs may be relative. This helper accepts:
- absolute URLs (any scheme that
url::Urlparses), e.g.https://example.com/post - root-relative paths starting with
/, e.g./tags/ - bare paths without a leading slash, e.g.
articles/foo.html
Rejects:
- the empty string (caller should check
is_empty()first) - any string containing whitespace or ASCII control characters — those would round-trip into the rendered RSS XML and break well-formedness or feed-reader parsing.
§Errors
Returns RssError::InvalidUrl with a descriptive message when the
input contains whitespace or control characters, or is empty.
