Re: Possible error?

Gareth,

I am able to reproduce this error if I directly pate this URI
(http://validator.w3.org/check/referer) in a new browser window. If you
are browsing a web site and then click on a such link the Refere files
sent in your HTTP request will be set at your actual location value.

For example if you are browsing http://www.w3.org/
and then click on the validate icon at the bottom of the page it will
validate the W3C Home page. 

I suspect your issue is related to your browser that did not send the
Referer value with your HTTP request.
I'd be curious to know what browser you are using and if you installed
any anti spy software or firewall that could block this.

You can also validate directly you Web site by entering the URI manualy
at http://validator.w3.org/

Regards,
Vivien
