Yes, the XHTML spec editors moved the DTDs around since the last revision of the spec, and www.w3.org does a redirect to serve the old location, but SP doesn't grok redirects yet. > As a wild guess, the URI that validator.w3.org has for the XHTML Strict DTD > is wrong and www.w3.org is redirecting requests to the right location.

The problem was that I was mistakenly setting $ENV{SP_CATALOG_FILES} instead of $ENV{SGML_CATALOG_FILES}, so SP couldn't look up the FPIs in the catalog, and relied on the sysids instead. Of course it took me something like 3 hours to find that... duh. Diff is at: http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/validator/httpd/cgi-bin/check.diff?r1=1.54&r2=1.55 So I guess SP has been fetching the DTD for every XHTML validation run until now; fortunately www.w3.org happens to be right next to validator.w3.org. :) (both machines are on this photo, somewhere: http://impressive.net/people/gerald/1999/11/19/100-0048.jpg ) -- Gerald Oskoboiny <gerald@w3.org> +1 617 253 2920 System Administrator http://www.w3.org/People/Gerald/ World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) http://www.w3.org/
