Validator.nu Form Upload Input
To use Validator.nu as a Web service by form-based file upload, the client issues an HTTP request either to http://validator.nu/
or http://html5.validator.nu/
using the POST method with an multipart/form-data
entity body. Common parameters are encoded as form fields. The document to check is included as the value of a file upload field called file
. The file
field must be the last field in the submission.
Since the Content-Type
supplied by browsers for the uploaded file is unreliable, the client-supplied Content-Type
is overridden with a synthetic Content-Type
if the filename is supplied and it has a well-known extension. The well-known extensions are html
, htm
, xhtml
, xht
, atom
, rng
, xsl
, xml
and dbk
.
The parameter field values must decode as UTF-8.
