My code makes a call to a 3rd party library (not mine) that

I might invoke it in its own thread and kill it if it hangs. Is
there a better way, without mucking with the 3rd party library?
Check the URL for reachability before attempting to reach it?
Search the archives for "SCNetworkCheckReachabilityByName".
I did. SCNetworkConnectionFlags() tells me only that the IP portion
of the URL is valid; it doesn't verify that the URL itself is valid.
Apologies. Your description of the problem was that the library hangs
when it can't reach the URL. That's a pretty easy situation to work
around but is evidently not actually the situation causing you grief.
How exactly is your problematic URL invalid?
Is there some method or function I could use for this purpose?
Depends on what is wrong. There are many ways a URL can be "invalid".
It might not conform to the URL spec, the host specified in the URL
might not exist or be reachable, the resource pointed to by the URL
might not exist, etc.
