[Tex/LaTex] URL linebreak in footnote

footnotesline-breakingurls

I use a footnote with a too long url, so that I'd like to see a linebreak. The url package does linebreaks automatically as far as i know, but in the footnote it won't do it.
Anyone have a solution to this?

\footnote{\url{http://www.this-is-a-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-long.url/}}

The url package documentation suggests the following:

Ordinarily, breaks are not allowed after "-" characters because this leads to confusion. (Is the "-" part of the address or just a hyphen?) The package option [hyphens] allows breaks after explicit hyphen characters. The \url command will never ever hyphenate words.

If your original example included a URL that has that specific structure, then \usepackage[hyphens]{url} will solve your problem.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[hyphens]{url}
\begin{document}
This is text\footnote{\url{http://www.this-is-a-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-long.url/}}.
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Linebreak before URL with biblatex/alphabetic

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage[style=authoryear,backend=biber,]{biblatex}
\usepackage[colorlinks=true,urlcolor=red!50!black]{hyperref}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\DeclareFieldFormat{formaturl}{\newline #1}
\newbibmacro*{url+urldate}{%
\printtext[formaturl]{%
  \printfield{url}}%
  \iffieldundef{urlyear}
    {}
    {\setunit*{\addspace}%
     \printtext[urldate]{\printurldate}}}

\begin{document}
\cite{ctan}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

With DeclaredFieldFormat you can format the whole string of url and urldate. In this case I insert a \newline in front of the ouput.

EDIT:

added printtext

[Tex/LaTex] unwanted pagebreak in footnote

It is difficult to reproduce the behaviour, but I have following suggestions:

Try loading the package bigfoot, which does wonder to the layout of footnote.
Try adding the command \enlargethispage{\baselineskip} to increase the type block, or \enlargethispage{-\baselineskip} to reduce type block.
Try rephrasing the text so the footnote reference is another place in the sentence and on the page.
Try adding a \nopagebreakat the end of the footnote.
