Hi,
I'm an Austrian writer living in Montpezat (South France). I just installed
a local W3C validator on my machine (Slackware 10.1, local Apache server).
It's accessible as http://w3c-validator, because I'm on dialup and I want
to check pages offline.
Unfortunately, URL upload won't work, because the validator doesn't accept
any URL's beginning with http://localhost.
Is there any way to circumvent this limitation? I want to check the output
of a local PHP site, and I don't know how to check otherwise than by URL
upload.
Any suggestions?

Either of:
(1) Just remove that check. But bear in mind that you
might be opening a security hole by exposing internal
details of your system to any user.
(2) Google for validator-lite, which is the same parser in
a desktop tool, and quite a lot simpler to set up
than a webserver-based validator.

I run Slack Linux 10.1 with a hand-crafted iptables/netfilter firewall, so
my first thought about this is: let 'em come:oD
Cheers,

Does validator-lite find different problems from NSGMLS, or is it
just a different user interface for the same validation engine?

No. At least not if you update to onsgmls, since the old nsgmls
has been unmaintained for many years. It does offer the option
to find more errors than the W3C validator, as documented under
"parse mode"s. That is exactly equivalent to onsgmls commandline
options.

It is, as I said, the same parser - OpenSP. Also featured in the other
online HTML validation services, and in Liam's windows desktop
"arealvalidator". Whereas onsgmls is a commandline wrapper on OpenSP,
Validator-lite is a GUI wrapper.
