url regex not working for localhost in javascript

Question

My code is :

 <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/
ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
    //bit_url function
    function bit_url(url)
    {
        var url=url;
        var username="username"; // bit.ly username
        var key="bit.ly API key";
        $.ajax({
            url:"http://api.bit.ly/v3/shorten",
            data:{longUrl:url,apiKey:key,login:username},
            dataType:"jsonp",
            success:function(v)
            {
                var bit_url=v.data.url;
                $("#result").html('<a href="'+bit_url+'" target="_blank">'+bit_url+'</a>');
            }
        });
    }

    $("#short").click(function()
    {
        var url=$("#url").val();
        var urlRegex = /(\b(https?|ftp|file):\/\/[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|])/ig;
        var urltest=urlRegex.test(url);
        if(urltest)
        {
            bit_url(url);
        }
        else
        {
            alert("Bad URL");
        }
    });
});
</script>

//HTML Code
<input type="text" name="url" id="url"/>
<input type="submit" id="short" value="Submit"/>
<div id="result"></div>`enter code here`

when I am giving this url then its neither giving error nor its giving short url. Please help me out to find the way to come out with this error.

Thank's in advance!

bit.ly does not encode localhost URLs any more - see this

Thank's. Is there any other way for short url other than bit.ly which supports localhost
