6091 2008-09-17 22:32:28 +0000 Using the 'accept=' url append option returns invalid reusable link. 2009-01-29 16:13:40 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Validator Website 0.8.3 PC Linux RESOLVED FIXED http://wolflinux.homelinux.org/bug/ P2 normal 0.8.4 1 taylor.gresser ville.skytta ot taylor.gresser www-validator-cvs oldest_to_newest 21934 0 taylor.gresser 2008-09-17 22:32:28 +0000 In short, the "Linking to this result" for my php/xhtml code should return: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwolflinux.homelinux.org%2Fbug%2F&accept=application%2Fxhtml%2Bxml; but instead returns: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwolflinux.homelinux.org%2Fbug%2Faccept=application%2Fxhtml%2Bxml; (missing an '&' before "accept=") Long version: I use the following code at the top of each page on my site: <?php if(stristr($_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT"],"application/xhtml+xml")){ header("Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml; charset=UTF-8"); echo('<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">'); } else { header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8"); echo ('<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">'); } ?> This requires me to append "&accept=application%2Fxhtml%2Bxml" to the end of the normal validation string when I want to test xhtml 1.1 validation, and I can leave it off to test xhtml 1.0 strict. When the validation completes, it returns a link in the "Linking to this result" section to allow easy re-validation. This link leaves out the '&' character, resulting in it attempting to validate the page "http://wolflinux.homelinux.org/bug/accept=application%2Fxhtml%2Bxml", which does not exist. I'm filing this report on the assumption that this is not the desired behavior. If it is, my apologies. 21969 1 ville.skytta 2008-09-19 21:04:35 +0000 This is hopefully now fixed in CVS, thanks for the catch. "Hopefully" because I was not able to actually test it as the test case you described triggers something that looks like a DTD related error in XHTML 1.1 mode with the development version of the validator and thus it does not produce a self-referential validation link at all. But the bug looked pretty obvious. 21980 2 taylor.gresser 2008-09-20 18:13:37 +0000 When you say the described test case is causing problems in the development version of the validator, do you mean the validator is having issues with the accept= flag, or something incorrect in the doctype string being used? 21981 3 ville.skytta 2008-09-20 19:18:37 +0000 Neither, but something in the used (XHTML 1.1?) DTD contents upsets the validator, see for example http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwolflinux.homelinux.org%2Fbug%2F&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0&accept=application%2Fxhtml%2Bxml Validation Output: 1 Error 1. Error Line 4615, Column 0: character "]" not allowed in declaration subset. 21982 4 taylor.gresser 2008-09-20 20:21:53 +0000 That makes sense, I think. http://192.168.1.30/bug/test.php is the same page with no php, and http://192.168.1.30/bug/test2.php is the same page yet again with no doctype string at all. Specifying xhtml1.1 as the doctype results in the same error, and neither of those files contain a ']' character. http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwolflinux.homelinux.org%2Fbug%2Ftest.php&charset=utf-8&doctype=XHTML+1.1&group=0&verbose=1&accept=application%2Fxhtml%2Bxml http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwolflinux.homelinux.org%2Fbug%2Ftest2.php&charset=utf-8&doctype=XHTML+1.1&group=0&verbose=1&accept=application%2Fxhtml%2Bxml You've probably already tested that, but I want to try to help out. Anything I can do? 21985 5 ville.skytta 2008-09-21 08:00:48 +0000 Thanks for the offer, but I don't think there's anything more you can do to help at this point. Meanwhile, I managed to test locally by applying the fix in CVS to the 0.8.3 version of the validator, and it does resolve the issue.
