[Bug report] Trailing slash issue (CSS Validator does not follow redirect for the submitted URI)

Hi,

I found the bug in the validator:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-i18n-html-tech-lang-20040509
Is not worky

But the same URI with a trailing slash at the end is working:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-i18n-html-tech-lang-20040509/

The validator should have first follow the 'Moved Permanently' redirect:
[[
vivien@han-solo:~$ HEAD -x
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-i18n-html-tech-lang-20040509
LWP::UserAgent::new: ()
LWP::UserAgent::request: ()
LWP::UserAgent::send_request: HEAD
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-i18n-html-tech-lang-20040509
LWP::UserAgent::_need_proxy: Not proxied
LWP::Protocol::http::request: ()
LWP::UserAgent::request: Simple response: Moved Permanently
LWP::UserAgent::request: ()
LWP::UserAgent::send_request: HEAD
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-i18n-html-tech-lang-20040509/
LWP::UserAgent::_need_proxy: Not proxied
LWP::Protocol::http::request: ()
LWP::UserAgent::request: Simple response: OK
200 OK
]]

Regards,
Vivien
