"Please enter a valid URL" when the URL contains 80 characters or more (since v1.0.18)

[benface]

It looks like this PR is the cause, because if I comment out that line ($value = idn_to_ascii...) it works fine. But when I keep it as is, any URL that is over 79 characters doesn't validate. Try with this URL for example (exactly 80 characters):

https://example.com/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi, thanks for reporting this. I think we would be better off by switching to the url validator provided by Yii as it seems to offer a better functionality.

I've just published a hotfix.
