To reproduce:
(Turn networking on?)
Goto Admin->Networking->Peers
Under "Add a new host", enter clsa_mnet_a.mroomsonline.com
Moodle (not Mahara)
Press the "Add host" button
Error message: "Invalid URL parameter."
I believe this is being rejected by clean_param in this code (line 82 in admin/mnet/peers.php):
---------
$temp_wwwroot = clean_param($form->wwwroot, PARAM_URL);
if ($temp_wwwroot !== $form->wwwroot)
------
(I can connect to the host correctly if I use clsamneta.mroomsonline.com)
