models.URLField with verify_exists=True pass non existent Urls to DB

[aurel...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have a model with URLField. Parmether verify_exists is set to True,
but when I enter url that does not exists (e.g. http://foobarbarfoo.com,
or http://www.google.com/foobar) they somehow manage to get to the
DB.

Should model report error? Or I do not understand docs: "If True (the
default), the URL given will be checked for existence (i.e., the URL
actually loads and doesn't give a 404 response)." on
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#urlfield

My model is:

class Link(models.Model):
    url = models.URLField(verify_exists=True, unique=True)

class Bookmark(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    user = models.ForeignKey(User)
    link = models.ForeignKey(Link)

class Tag(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=64, unique=True)
    bookmarks = models.ManyToManyField(Bookmark)

Form class is:

class BookmarkSaveForm(forms.Form):
    url = forms.URLField(
        label=u'URL',
        widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'size' : 64})
    )
    title = forms.CharField(
        label=u'Title',
        widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'size' : 64})
    )
    tags = forms.CharField(
        label=u'Tags',
        required=False,
        widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'size' : 64})
    )

View function that handle form is:

def bookmark_save_page(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = BookmarkSaveForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            link, dummy = Link.objects.get_or_create(
                url=form.cleaned_data['url']
            )
            bookmark, created = Bookmark.objects.get_or_create(
                user=request.user,
                link=link
            )
            # Update bookmark title.
            bookmark.title = form.cleaned_data['title']
            # If the bookmark is being updated, clear old tag list.
            if not created:
                bookmark.tag_set.clear()
            # Create new tag list.
            tag_names = form.cleaned_data['tags'].split()
            for tag_name in tag_names:
                tag, dummy = Tag.objects.get_or_create(name=tag_name)
                bookmark.tag_set.add(tag)
            # Save bookmark to database.
            bookmark.save()

            return HttpResponseRedirect(
                '/user/%s/' %
request.user.username
            )
    else:
        form = BookmarkSaveForm()
    variables = RequestContext(request, {
        'form' : form
    })
    return render_to_response('bookmark_save.html', variables)

I am using Django 1.2.1, Python 2.6.5 on Kubuntu 10.04 (64b)

Thanks,
