[thelist] REFC Delimiter

[Luther, Ron]

Hi Eric,

Thanks - I figured the validator issued a GET, but I haven't played with the URL rewriting for sessions functionality - so I missed the significance of that.

Thanks!

The W3C validator executes a normal HTTP GET against whatever URL you ask it
to validate - which means any normal server-side processing will execute as
normal.

The way the URL rewriting for sessions works is that as the web
server delivers the page, it actually rewrites link URLs to include the
&session_id= parameter - so that by the time the W3C service gets the code,
the unescaped ampersands are actually part of the web page.
