Thanks Mark, Then the downloadable DTD library should be updated to include the missing doctypes, I guess. Otherwise, local installs of the validator will not be complete. I'll try to find who is in charge for this, and offer my help to get it completed. 2012/11/4 Mark Rogers <mark.rogers@powermapper.com>: > I did quite a lot of digging through the code to diagnose the same problem a couple of years back. > > The conclusion I came to then was the W3 validator was probably downloading the DTDs as well - but the performance hit was much smaller for validator.w3.org since the DTDs and validator are on the same LAN subnet (the validator may also have some caching mechanism for the downloaded DTDs like a local HTTP proxy) > > You should be able to get the files from http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/ and save them into sgml-lib/REC-rdfa-syntax-20081014 (looked painful to do by hand since there are a lot to save, and modules include other modules). There's also a list of the files in sgml-lib/catalog.xml - might be possible to write small script to download the missing ones. > > Best Regards > Mark Rogers - mark.rogers@powermapper.com > PowerMapper Software Ltd - www.powermapper.com > Registered in Scotland No 362274 Quartermile 2 Edinburgh EH3 9GL > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jaime Iniesta [mailto:jaimeiniesta@gmail.com] > Sent: 03 November 2012 22:09 > To: www-validator@w3.org > Subject: Re: Slowness on local install, just with some URLs > > That's it, Mark. > > The page I'm trying to validate uses this doctype, that takes a lot of time to download: > > http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-rdfa-2.dtd > > I installed the validator following the instructions on http://validator.w3.org/docs/install.html#install-download -- the DTD library that can be downloaded from there doesn't include this doctype. > > http://validator.w3.org/sgml-lib.tar.gz > > I guess the official validator.w3.org is using a more up-to-date doctype library than the one that can be downloaded, and that's why they're faster? > > Does anyone know how to get a more up-to-date DTD library, or include this missing doctype in it? > > Thanks! > > 2012/11/2 Mark Rogers <mark.rogers@powermapper.com>: >> Have you checked it can find a local copy of the DTDs?
