Invalid URL Format (Error 15)

Invalid URL Format (Error 15) occurs when an image URL doesn’t adhere to the required format, preventing successful downloading. A valid format example is: http://www.domain.com/directory/image-file.jpg.

To resolve this issue, the image URL must follow the standard formatting guidelines, such as http://www.domain.com/directory/image-file.jpg. Ensure the use of domain structures like www.domain.com or www.domain.ca.

  • Preferred Suffixes: While .gif or .jpg suffixes aren’t mandatory, they are recommended.
  • Protocols: Only http is allowed; https, ftp, or file are not supported.
  • URL Composition: Avoid including spaces and non-alphanumeric characters like $, ?, @, &.
