  Incorrect URL validation in document attachement,URLValidator
  method is not correct in documentAttachment-form.js file
  

Problem conclusion

• Regular expression in the condition is incorrect in
  documentAttachment-form.js file. The
  '\.\w{2,4}' segment requires that all URLs have at least two
  segments (a.b) and the last segment have at 2 to 4
  alphanumeric characters. The proper regular expression should
  be as follows:
  ^(http|ftp|https|sftp)\:\/\/\w+([\.\-]\w+)*(\:\d+)*([\w\/\.\-\?
  \
  &\%\#\=\@\$]*)*\/?$
  
  The fix has corrected the behaviour.
  
  Install/Dependency information is available in the readme.txt
  on FixCentral. When the user goes to the download files page
  in FixCentral, the readme will be available with the fix
  package as a separate download.
