[FUJ] There is no validation for the format when the users adds a URL of a Custom source in Ubuntu section.

Bug description:

* Current result:

Given I am in the Custom source of the Ubuntu section in the first use journey
When I am adding a URL with an invalid format in the Mirror URL input field
Then I can click connect, even if the Mirror URL is random text

* Expected/ correct result:

Given I am in the Custom source of the Ubuntu section in the first use journey
When I am adding a URL with an invalid format in the Mirror URL input field
Then I can see a validation error "invalid input" under the input field

And the Connect button should be disabled if the input format is invalid.

Technically we do not try to validate the URL as it can also be a file path or anything that simplestreams can use to contact the source. So when you enter something invalid it will say that the source provides no "Ubuntu images", which is correct even if the URL is not valid.

Actually, I think we could validate whether this is a valid path or valid URL. For example:

httpadsfasdf://images.ubuntu.com/MAAS Is not a valid URL

and:

/var/###$%$$$/images

Is not a valid PATH. Do we validate that stuff?

[Blake Rouse (blake-rouse)]

Like I said, we let simplestreams handle that part. At the moment we do not validate its a valid URL, we just determine if we are able to get any source information from that given string.
