    <thetext>Reported by Björn Höhrmann &lt;derhoermi@gmx.net&gt;:

The advanced interface at [1] POSTs data to the remote resource. I don&apos;t like
that, but if you want to combine file upload and validation by URI in the same
form, you don&apos;t have a choice. However, on the result page I get told

  If you would like to create a link to this page (i.e., this validation
  result) to make it easier to re-validate this page in the future or to
  allow others to validate your page, the URI is
  http://validator.w3.org:8001/check?uri=&lt;URI&gt; (or you can just add the
  current page to your bookmarks or hotlist.)

The link does not include the advanced options I chose, neither is it
possible to add the current page to my bookmarks or hotlist, since the
resource is not GETable. 

Three possible solutions:

  remove the bookmark note and add parameters to the URI
  respond with 302/303 and redirect to a parameterized URI
  make it two forms and GET the results</thetext>

    <thetext>I think we&apos;ll change this to redirect to a GETable URL in the case when there is
no uploaded file. Björn and others have suggested this before and it seems like
a good way to solve this issue.</thetext>

    <thetext>Fixed. &quot;check&quot; now redirects to a GETable URL if request method was POST but
there was no file upload. cf.
