Verifying a URL

[SonyQrio]

Hello everyone,

I am developing a complex web browsing application that allows the user to input a homepage in the settings app, and upon loading the browser it loads that homepage.

I have many methods that manipulate that URL, such as adding http://www. if the user has not, but I run across many errors in my app if the user enters an invalid URL such as ddfgdfgercv.com.

I need a way to verify that url (make sure that it exists) and if it doesn't, pop an UIAlertView telling them that it is not valid.

Thank you,
SonyQrio
