Systems and methods for providing runtime universal resource locator (URL) analysis and correction

In a computing system, a method for providing runtime automatic universal resource locator (URL) analysis and suggestion in connection with a service accessed from a client computing device utilizing a URL input mechanism, comprising:

• providing a URL input to the URL input mechanism of the client computing device;
• determining whether the URL input is valid and if invalid, detecting whether said input is a likely candidate for multilingual analysis, further if said input is a likely candidate for said multilingual analysis, transmitting said URL input to a server computing device for intelligent rules-based analysis, including said multilingual analysis, for identifying the invalid aspects of the invalid URL input;
• and displaying a smart error page comprising a valid alternative URL obtained from at least one database of known URLs, wherein the at least one database of known URLs is a local copy of a portion of the Internet DNS URL database, the local copy updated dynamically for affirming the validity of the known URLs and for generating a blacklist of URLs to exclude socially undesirable domains, the smart error page further comprising a partial search result comprising a name of a topic related to the invalid URL input, and a link that when asserted provides an extensive listing of search results related to the invalid URL input.

A computing device providing automatic universal resource locator (URL) analysis in connection with a process implicating a URL input mechanism, comprising:

• means for providing input to the URL input mechanism of the computing device;
• means for determining whether the URL input is valid and if invalid, detecting whether said input is a likely candidate for multilingual analysis, and if said input is a likely candidate for said multilingual analysis, transmitting said URL input with a means for transmitting to a server computing device for intelligent rules-based analysis of the invalid URL input, including said multilingual analysis, and identification of the invalid aspects of the invalid URL;
• and means for displaying an error page containing a valid alternative URL that is obtained by said server from a local copy of a portion of the Internet DNS URL database, the local copy updated dynamically for affirming the validity of the known URLs and the local copy comprising a block list for blocking the use of undesirable domains, the error page further comprising a partial search result comprising a name of a topic related to the invalid URL input, and a link that when asserted provides an extensive listing of search results related to the invalid URL input.
