Description Benjamin Niemann 2007-01-24 10:26:04 UTC 
Version:           3.5.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

The validators plugin (Tools > Validate Web Page) currently uses the following URLs as default:

http://validator.w3.org/check/
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator/
http://validator.w3.org/checklink/

All URLs must be without trailing slash.

It used to work, but recent changes of these services broke this - a cyclic redirect in the markup validator, broken links in css validator and link checker (I think the correct URLs have always been without trailing slash).

w3c validators fix

I can confirm this bug (3.5.6). HTML validator won't work at all (some errors
about recursion). CSS validator did't load it's style. Link validator works for
me. All of them seems to work fine without trailing slash, so I create fast fix
( Sorry but I can't check now, if it works. But it's so simple that shouldn't
be any problems. ).

This is patch is for kdeaddons 3.5.6.
