consumer: fix panic in nextLookupdEndpoint #321

The code can panic if invalid lookupd address is provided:

panic: parse "http:// myhostname:4161": invalid character " " in host name

This is caused different validation of the input when configured
in ConnectToNSQLookupd and when used in nextLookupdEndpoint.

Moving preparation of the URL to the beginning so that we don't
need to do any input validation in nextLookupEndpoint.

Fixes #316

Note that I have not tested the code yet as I don't have a nsq instance on the machine I'm currently on.

I'm confused, it looks like validatedLookupAddr already returned an error from url.Parse, perhaps in your test case you're not checking the return value from ConnectToNSQLookupd?

If you use " myhostname:4161" as the input value then validatedLookupAddr does not call url.Parse at all because the string does not contain a slash.

I've updated the commit message so that it is clearer.

Thanks @martin-sucha, I think we can simplify this a bit so the diff isn't as noisy.

I don't see any benefit of introducing a type here, let's keep this a string and then a few of the other changes here won't be necessary.

Ok, I removed the type.

If you use " myhostname:4161" as NSQd HTTP address
then the code panics in nextLookupdEndpoint:

    panic: parse "http:// myhostname:4161": invalid character " " in host name

This is caused different validation of the input when configured
in ConnectToNSQLookupd and when used in nextLookupdEndpoint.

Moving preparation of the URL to the beginning so that we don't
need to do any input validation in nextLookupdEndpoint.
