The following is extracted from a conversation that has been going on
for a few days now on the W3C's Validator Newsgroup. Do any Necko
engineers have any comments.
I have not really been following the thread, but I wanted to see if
there was an easy answer.
The newsgroup archives are here:

This server seems to be returning 500's if there is no 'Host:'
header specified on incoming requests. (does NN6 really not
supply a Host: header!? If so, that's a terrible bug. I'm away
from my usual desktop system right now so I can't check easily.)
Anyway, I don't know why tim would have had trouble using the
validator with his site; it works now and nothing has changed on
this side.
