validator#validate_text raises W3CValidators::ValidatorUnavailable

[buren]

Caused by the API returning HTTP 400 Bad Request. Calling #validate_uri makes a successful request.

W3CValidators::ValidatorUnavailable: unable to connect to the validator at https://validator.w3.org/nu/ (response was 400 "Bad request").

Could you please provide a sample of code to reproduce your issue ?
If I remember well if you call too many time the service they might blacklist you for a while (not sure if this can explain your issue).

Here is the code I used to test your case, and it works:

require 'w3c_validators'

file = '/home/user/ruby/w3c_validators/test/fixtures/valid_html5.html'
validator = ::W3CValidators::NuValidator.new
results = validator.validate_file(file)
puts results.inspect

@buren any news on this ?
If not, then I'll close this issue as it cannot be reproduced.

Sorry, I'm not really sure. The api returns 400 for rate limiting, so it could very well have been that.

Thank you.
