Re: Validator fails horribly on ill-formed XMLDecls


Hello Bjoern,

Would the result at
http://validator.w3.org:8001/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bjoernsworld.de%2Fte 
mp%2Finvalid-xmldecl.html&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline
be more in line with your expectations?

Regards,   Martin.

checklink: problems installing checklink.pl, Time::HiRes.pm error


Followed the steps, trying to install checklink.pl properly according to 
	http://www.w3.org/2000/07/checklink
on a Windows XP box with fresh install of ActiveState and Cygnus tools.

Found the following additional dependencies were needed, tho not
listed on page.  Downloaded them from CPAN search into various
C:\perl\site\lib subdirectories

Http::BrowserDetect.pm
LWP::EventLoop.pm
LWP::MainLoop.pm
Time::HiRes.pm

Verified all of these landed in their respective directories cleanly.

Running checklink eceives the following error:

=============================

C:\perl\site>checklink.pl

HTML Validator Question


Can someone give us a hand with this request.

Kevin

Hi, I'm the sys admin working with Kevin and I just wanted to clarify a 
few
things that might have been miscommunicated.
The exact error message is as follows (simply tailing the Apache/1.3.22
error log). Note that it is actually /tmp and not /temp and the question
marks (????) were meant to indicate process id.
check: unlink(/tmp/validator.6300) returned: No such file or directory
check: open(/tmp/validator.6300 returned: No such file or directory
We are running this under Solaris8 and the /tmp directory has standard
permissions:
drwxrwxrwt 7 root sys 542 Sep 30 03:30 /tmp
Regards,
Chris MacPherson

You did properly *install* them, instead of just copying the modules,
right?  If you're using ActivePerl, install packages with ppm, otherwise
download the distributions and follow the instructions in their READMEs
or use "perl -MCPAN -e shell".

But you're right, Time::HiRes is not listed in the requirements, need to
update that.

The CPAN distributions you'll need to have are (plus the requirements
for these):
o libwww-perl
o HTML-Parser
o CGI.pm
o URI

Frame validation

I’ve been trying to validate my page against the HTML 4.01 frameset  
validator and I keep getting the error messages below. I did a search  
on this error on the W3 homepage and have not found any answers, so  
here I am. 

 

Here is the first error message I have been receiving:

 

Below are the results of attempting to parse this document with an SGML  
parser.

·        Line 26, column 43:

·      <frameset rows="*,70" cols="*"
frameborder=0>

                                                                         
    ^

Error: there is no attribute "FRAMEBORDER" for this element (in this  
HTML version)

 

Here is the page involved:

Re: Multiple cross-site-scripting bugs


Hi Tom, thanks a lot for this report. A few comments inline.

Cross site scripting vulnerabilities seem to be trendy these days :)

Yes, we were aware of this one, and it's fixed in the development 
version. It should be released fairly soon, and we'll encourage people 
running a local validator to upgrade.

Oh, that's a clever one. Ugly, but clever. It seems that this problem 
exists in the dev version, too.

I'm not able to test it with the development version of the validator

Fault in icon code

First of all thanks for the very useful validation services.

 

After successful validation of a web page, I inserted the HTML code for 
the Valid HTML icon provided in (http://validator.w3.org/). Then 
running the Link Checker I obtained error due to a broken link 
(http://validator.w3.org/check/referer) supplied for the icon.Using 
this URI explicitly in a web browser doesn’t cause any problems since 
there is a direction to http://validator.w3.org/.

 

With love and concern,

Per Erlandsson

This happens because the checklink doesn't currently send the HTTP
"Referer" header, and <http://validator.w3.org/check/referer> depends on
that.  If it's not present, it issues a redirect to
<http://validator.w3.org/>.  And checklink treats 301's as errors...
kind of embarrassing.  I'll look into this.

To summarize, there's nothing wrong with the referrer icon link, it's a
checklink "feature" you're seeing here.

ipv6 support would be nice

I have an ipv6 only server (apache2) at http://spacedout.fries.net/ it
would be really nice if I could directly verify the pages, the view
web page, save file, upload file to validator, or cvs commit, cvs
update (on an ipv4 host), methods work it would be be nice to verify
the site where it is.
