Re: [EXT] bug repport about tilde removal in referer

Hello Philip!

Thanks for your e-mail! I should probably clarify this issue.

> From my browser (Seamonkey 2.53.11.1, Win-64), the link successfully validates
> https://www.acc.umu.se/~saasha/jats2dbk/ (or at least claims to).

It claims to validate … but it "validates" some other code. Indeed, it says: "HTML 4.01 Transitional", despite of the fact that
https://www.acc.umu.se/~saasha/jats2dbk/ is valid "-//W3C//DTD XHTML+RDFa 1.1//EN". What is valid "HTML 4.01 Transitional" is
https://www.acc.umu.se/ which is rather different. This is also obvious if you check the URI at the top of your browser window, which says
https://validator.w3.org/check?uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.acc.umu.se%2F and not
https://validator.w3.org/check?uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.acc.umu.se%2F%7Esaasha%2Fjats2dbk%2F as it should if it would keep the referer intact.

The problem is that the part of the referer after the first slash following the domain name is pruned away.

Regards!
