Does AppleScript provide any way of testing whether a string is a
valid URL before using it as the argument of the "open location"
command?

A couple of other people have mentioned that the word "valid" is ambiguous but for "standard" URLs this works

try

do shell script "curl http://hgghjgjhghj/"

on error

display dialog "No a valid URL"

end try

If curl can't resolve the url it returns an error which AppleScript's try statement can catch.
