Problem/Motivation

The field validation error message only says the value for a particular field is not a valid URL. Because fields can have multiple values (50 in our current project), it can be hard to find the exact URL that is incorrect.

Proposed resolution

Include the incorrect value in the error message.

Remaining tasks

None.

User interface changes

A slight change in a translatable string.

API changes

None.

Nitpick: I would use %value here. Otherwise RTBC.

Totally makes sense.

Well, the patch required changes to my automated tests to pass, but given the few folks who have learned how to update tests (and given how useful I think this might be) I went in and edited the tests to match.

Applied patch and committed to 7.x-1.x.

Thanks! Which tests do you have that are not run by the testbot?

Thanks John.

Sorry I failed to notice the module has automated tests, I wouldn't have RTBC'd it if I knew. Do you know why the test bot did not automatically test these patches?
