Description simpledark 2016-07-26 19:37:15 UTC 
This is a recent regression.

While using the API with:
curl -sF "uploaded_file=@index.html;type=text/html" -F output=json http://validator.w3.org/check

I get an invalid JSON reponse:

{
    "url": "index.html",
    "messages": [
        
          {
              
              
              "message": ,
              "messageid": "html5",
              "explanation": "    <p class=\"helpwanted\">\n      <a\n        href=\"feedback.html?uri=;errmsg_id=html5#errormsg\"\n\ttitle=\"Suggest improvements on this error message through our feedback channels\" \n      >&#x2709;</a>\n    </p>\n",
              "type": "info"
          },
...

Note that "message": is missing a value.

In addition, I also get the same extra headers mentioned in Bug 29315, but I've omitted them from this output.
