Thanks, Terje.

In fact, the "keep-alive" is crucial for the redirection to succeed. However,
even though it's turned on, W3C's Markup Validator keeps saying no doctype has
been found (and even when typing in the IP uri to dismiss the redirection).
Duh!

It's a pity the Markup Validator does not use telnet.  \\;^)

Only those guys who developed the markup, link and css validators are able to
determine why in earth the markup validator is unable to read my contents.
Such "feature" has been around for years!

Thank you for your good will.
