If I request the page, while pretending to be the Validator: $ lynx -dump --useragent="Lynx_pretending_to_be W3C_Validator/1.305.2.148 libwww-perl/5.803" -head http://www.bhdgdptcalifornia.com/ Then your server returns: HTTP/1.1 302 Found Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2005 16:46:39 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.31 (Unix) mod_log_bytes/0.3 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 PHP/4.3.10 mod_ssl/2.8.19 OpenSSL/0.9.7c Location: http://localhost/ It looks like someone is trying to block software based on libwww-perl - but are for some insane reason redirecting them to localhost instead of giving a Forbidden message.
