Hello, I've noticed a problem with the W3 Validator. When I tell it to validate a page (not a CSS document), it sends the request as user agent "Jigsaw/2.2.0 W3C_CSS_Validator_JFouffa/2.0.", with the following Accept header: text/css,text/html,text/xml,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml,image/svg+xml,*/*;q=0. I believe prefering text/css over text/html for HTML page validation is wrong. Also, Accept-Language is set to static "en-us,en;q=0.5". This might cause the W3 Validator to receive different content than the user's browser, thus verifying a _different page_. I think it'd be desired, in order to improve the user experience, to replicate the Accept-Language header which the user's browser sends in W3's requests. (I'm not subscribed to the list, so if it's not too hard, please Cc me the response.) Otherwise, thanks for the invaluable tool.Received on Sunday, 5 October 2003 13:51:03 GMT
