Looking for hostname validation regex.
Regular expression to match DNS hostname or IP Address?
In that link gentlemen propose a decent regex. I have a few problems/questions with that:
- On windows computers/networks names
like
1abcdare allowed (verified on our local network) - In the proposed regex the dot might appear only once. I'd assume
that
abc.def.ghis a valid hostname as well, isn't it.
Strange, but also couldn't find any .NET class that can validate hostname string (is it the situation?). Any advice will be highly appreciated.
Update: for any class/method proposal - please advice something that will work both in .NET/C# and SilverLight.

The dot MAY appear more than once. Test the regular expression here and you will see that it matches.
Relevant fragment of the regular expression (first part is):
([a-zA-Z0-9]|[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9\-]*[a-zA-Z0-9])\.)*
On windows computers/networks names like 1abcd are allowed (verified on our local network)
From wikipedia:
The original specification of hostnames in RFC 952, mandated that labels could not start with a digit or with a hyphen, and must not end with a hyphen. However, a subsequent specification (RFC 1123) permitted hostname labels to start with digits.
I referred to RFC 952. I will try to update the regular expression for hostnames to be compliant with RFC 1123.

Is Uri.CheckHostName a method that can help you ? If the hostname is not recognize, the result will be "Unknown".
回答3:
(?i)(?=.{5,20}$)^(([a-z\d]|[a-z\d][a-z\d\-]*[a-z\d])\.)*([a-z\d]|[a-z\d][a-z\d\-]*[a-z\d])$
Explanation:
(?i) - Ignore case
(?=.{5,20}$) - Limit the string length within 5 to 20 characters.
^(([a-z\d]|[a-z\d][a-z\d\-]*[a-z\d])\.)*([a-z\d]|[a-z\d][a-z\d\-]*[a-z\d])$ - Accepts any alphabets and numeric along with hyphen and dot
