The web page in question is https://pyre.virge.net/. Linking to <http://validator.w3.org/check/referer> depends on the browser to send the Referer header, which browsers generally don't send when requesting an insecure page from a secure one. You could instead link to http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=https%3A%2F%2Fpyre.virge.net%2F That the validator recommends using the referer link is a bug. I'll add it to Bugzilla shortly. -- Liam Quinn
