The 555 error is generated by your web server's firewall. Probably an overzealous rule to block any uncommon User-Agent strings. Below is an example of using Curl, which produces the same error.

To fix this you'll need to contact your web server administrator.

An immediate work-around is to directly access the Nu Html Checker at https://validator.w3.org/nu/ , which is currently not blocked by your server.
