Description Jonathan Watt 2005-02-23 10:39:11 UTC 
The validator doesn't seem to be able to validate gzipped SVG files. Try the
following link:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fjwatt.org%2Fmoz%2Fcircles1.svgz&charset=%28detect+automatically%29

We actually do:

  http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/check?uri=http://jwatt.org/moz/circles1.svgz

Though you should use 'gzip' rather than 'x-gzip'.
Comment 2 Jonathan Watt 2005-02-23 10:50:52 UTC 
Maybe that one works, but I'm filing agains validator.w3.org - unless you think
that it shouldn't work (in which case this should be WONTFIX). Where is the
"find the right validator for you" link anyway?
Comment 3 Bj 2005-02-23 10:59:35 UTC 
I should have added that http://qa-dev.w3.org/ is our testbed server (as the 
homepage notes) and http://qa-dev.w3.org/wmvs/HEAD/ is our latest development 
version. validator.w3.org will be updated with the new code at some point and 
consequently pass your test case. There is no good end-user documentation for 
finding the right validator version though.

I see. Thanks Björn.
