------- Additional Comments From ot@w3.org  2004-08-05 02:03 -------
["annoying validator bug" is in no way a reasonably useful description of the issue", changing that]
[ tested upload feature of validator, works fine, switching status to "worksforme" ]

The fact that the validator refuses to validate documents served (or, in your case, since you are using 
upload, sent) with a wrong content-type is not a bug. If there is a bug, it is probably with the browser 
you are using to upload the documents to the validator.

You claim the behaviour of the validator changed without giving any detail or proper process to 
reproduce the issue. This makes the bug report less useful.

Probable cause of your problem: did you change the file name (or its extension, or its "default handler") 
between the moment the validator accepted it and the moment it stopped?

minor note: it's validator.w3.org, not w3c.org.
