Https pages not working is a known "bug" cf.
https://validator.w3.org/docs/help.html#faq-referer
If a JS solution is OK, we could do something like this:
<a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer";
onclick="this.href=
'https://validator.w3.org/check?uri='+encodeURIComponent(document.URL)">
Validate
</a>
This would work with public https pages if JS is supported. See:
https://validator.w3.org/favelets.html
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/2005Mar/0011.html
I have not found a way to send the raw source code via an url for local
files.
