Re: [OpenJade-users] W3C Validator uses OpenSP and it can't download DTD's from behind a proxy

[Steve A. <ak...@gm...>]

Thanks Phillip for your reply.

I worked out what was going wrong.

The sgml-lib was not being found due to how I had installed it.

The instructions in http://validator.w3.org/docs/install_win.html were
not exactly clear so I've posted a bug with a solution to see if it
can be updated.
See:
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5682


Thanks again.
