Hello,
I saw on your system status page that your server is responding
slowly to DTD requests. Is there any update on this problem? We have
a validation process that requests the SMIL DTD (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-smil/SMIL10.dtd
) that started failing last week. We are able to retrieve the DTD
instantly using curl, but when we request the DTD from our java
program (running on the same machine) we get a 500 server error
every time. There hasn't been a change to our program and we are
able to retrieve other DTDs with it successfully. We're not making
requests to the web server very often, and we're able to retrieve
the DTD using curl, so it doesn't seem like our IP address is being
blocked. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Please see our FAQ on this:
