Validator https problem?

Hi,

I validated my web page manually.  The validator presented me with html
code which can be inserted into my web site in order in order to display
the "validated" logo.  I have chosen to do this, but it doesnt seem to
work.

When I click the logo, it takes me to:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=

This url just prints out an error saying it doesnt understand the url
to be validated (which is blank).

I have tried with Mozilla and Internet Exlorer, the same thing happened
with both.  The web page in question is https://pyre.virge.net/.

Thanks,

Norbert
