Description victory 2005-03-18 16:13:59 UTC 
in validator.conf, 
# The "Home Page" for the service.  Make sure this ends with a slash.
Home Page = http://validator.w3.org/

and in templates/en_US/valid.tmpl line 40
    &lt;a href="<TMPL_VAR NAME="cfg_home_page"
ESCAPE="HTML">/check/referer"&gt;&lt;img

these produce wrong source below
<pre>  &lt;p&gt;
    &lt;a href="http://validator.w3.org//check/referer"&gt;&lt;img
        src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-xhtml10"
        alt="Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict" height="31" width="88"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
  &lt;/p&gt;
  </pre>
Comment 1 Olivier Thereaux 2005-03-19 14:29:13 UTC 
Agreed. 

Since validator.conf specifically calls for a trailing slash, it seems reasonable to remove the slash before 
check. Also verified that cfg_home_page is not used in other templates.

Fixed in CVS:

Thanks for the report.
