sergeychernyshev/showslow — Issue #66: Bug in filter_var (PHP < 5.3.3) affects detail page

In versions of PHP prior to 5.3.3 filter_var does not handle dashes in domain names correctly. Thus filter_var on a URL such as http://abonnez-vous.orange.fr/ returns false. This causes the details page to show the 'Error - no URL specified' page.

Presumably this bug affects other pages, but I don't know which, if any.

The PHP bug in question is 51192.
