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

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

I'm trying to install and use W3C Validator which uses OpenSP.

OpenSP needs Internet access to download DTD's.

Unfortunately I only have access to the Internet via a proxy and when
OpenSP tries to retrieve DTD's it fails.

This has been posted in the past with no solution.
There is also a feature request which was added a year ago but is
still unassigned.
Does this mean that it's unlikely it will be actioned or this code has
gone stale?

I'm hoping someone has figured out a way around this.

The DTD I'm referencing is XHTML 1.0 Strict.

I don't know how the code works but there seems to be some concept of catalogs.

I tried adding
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" xhtml1-strict.dtd
to html.soc but this did nothing.  I actually deleted this file and
got the same result so it can't be referencing it.

There is obviously more to it then just updating this catalog.

Thanks for any help that is given.

Cheers,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Are you aware that the W3C validator also comes with a catalog that  
you can install? It includes the common DTDs you're likely to run  
across and OpenSP will use the local catalog instead of downloading  
them.

http://validator.w3.org/sgml-lib.tar.gz

As referenced from here:

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.
