Re: Re: rdf validator Check-by-URI broken

We're experiencing problems in validating FOAF files.  The two
identical files [1] and [2] served by different servers give different
results.  [2] validates successfully but [1] produces an error:

  "An attempt to load the RDF from URI 'http://cs.umbc.edu/~ctilmes1/
   foaf.rdf' failed. (Undecodable data when reading URI at byte 0
   using encoding 'UTF-8'. Please check encoding and encoding
   declaration of your document.)"

Checking the headers when getting two files shows them to be identical
and have reasonable http headers:

  % GET http://cs.umbc.edu/~ctilmes1/foaf.rdf | md5sum
  74ca1b53dab1591a76517d714686936a  -

  % GET http://userpages.umbc.edu/~ctilmes1/foaf.rdf | md5sum
  74ca1b53dab1591a76517d714686936a  -

  % HEAD http://cs.umbc.edu/~ctilmes1/foaf.rdf
