The link checker is a CGI script. validator.w3.org runs Apache, and the configuration file says, among other things: ServerName validator.w3.org [..] ScriptAlias /checklink /usr/local/validator/httpd/cgi-bin/checklink.pl Gerald, I just noticed that the httpd.conf in CVS[1] is 2 years old. Where is the current version? I lost track during the multiple moves of the service. As a side note somewhat off-topic for www-validator but short enough to be mentioned, "not mentioning the extension" (.html, .jpg) is due to content negotiation, which allows you to propose multiple formats for the same resource (SVG, JPG, PNG, etc) so that the client gets the best format for its capabilities. You can get that: - by enabling negotiation on a DirectoryResource[2] in Jigsaw. - by using mod_negotiation[3] in Apache (see the content negotiation documentation[4]). Hope this helps. 1. http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/validator/httpd/conf/httpd.conf 2. http://www.w3.org/Jigsaw/User/api/w3c.jigsaw.resources.DirectoryResource.html 3. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_negotiation.html 4. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/content-negotiation.html -- Hugo Haas - W3C mailto:hugo@w3.org - http://www.w3.org/People/Hugo/ - tel:+1-617-452-2092
