reassign 353220 opensp
retitle 353220 opensp: please add support for http proxy
thanks

Dan Jacobson a écrit :
Package: wdg-html-validator
Version: 1.6.2-3
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/validate

Here offline, $http_proxy is ignored by the validate command:
$ validate http://www.raggle.org/|head
*** Errors validating http://www.raggle.org/: ***
Error at line 3, character 49:  error connecting to "www.w3.org" (Network
        is unreachable)
Error at line 3, character 49:  DTD did not contain element declaration for
        document type name

Wait, the man page says http_proxy is considered, but maybe not for
DTDs?

http_proxy is considered, but the DTD is fetched (if needed) by the SGML validator itself (ie onsgmls), which does not support HTTP proxies.

Anyway it is not a problem for most pages, as a local copy of the DTD is used for all the W3C standards. In your case, the page is using a non W3C standard ("XHTML 1.1 Strict"), that's why the SGML validator tries to fetch the DTD given in HTML source.

I am therefore reassigning the bug to opensp (the package which provides onsgmls).

Bye,
Aurelien
