I have a problem using http://validator.w3.org/check/referer with a xhtml document generated by a perl script. I moved to a new server recently. Since then the following message appears when i try validating the site: " Sorry! A fatal error occurred when attempting to transcode the character encoding of the document. Either we do not support this character encoding yet, or you have specified a non-existent character encoding (often a misspelling). The detected character encoding was "-8860". " However, my header looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="de" lang="de"> <head> <title>mp. - News</title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> ... It looks like the -8859 is subtracted by 1 with the result of -8860 which of course is no valid character encoding. Looking at the source of the referring site on the other hand shows the correct value. Has anyone experienced this kind of problem before? Sincerely, Marc Philipp
