However, if access to the page is restricted using basic server authentication (i.e. requires a user name and password), then the following error message is received when following the above link on the page: 'I/O Error: Basic realm="[realm of refered document]"' The submitter is not prompted to enter any authentication details prior to receiving the error message. The validator can handle pages requiring authentication when submitted directly using a URL of the form <http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=[URL of document to validate]> or manually via the web form interface -- in these cases, the submitter is prompted to enter authentication details prior to the page being validated, as expected. Note that the markup validator can handle documents requiring authentication that are submitted via a refered URL using the link <http://validator.w3.org/check/referer>. 5486 1 ylafon 2005-08-23 09:41:18 +0000 Fixed with the new version of the "check" servlet (it now redirects to the main CSS Validator servlet)
