Nu Validator is redirecting on check?

Hi there,

when I use the validator here:
https://validator.w3.org/nu/

and provide a URL like "http://www.google.com", I am getting redirected to the URL that I provide. This is true too in the case that I run a local instance. Is this intended behavior?

Thanks,
