Hi,
I downloaded the XP service pack 2. When I try to
validate html files using the W3C Markup Validation
Servive, I get this message when using Internet Explorer:

"Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because its
content type is text/plain, which is not currently
supported by this service.

The Content-Type field is sent by your web server (or web
browser if you use the file upload interface) and depends
on its configuration. Commonly, web servers will have a
mapping of filename extensions (such as ".html") to MIME
Content-Type values (such as text/html).

That you recieved this message can mean that your server
is not configured correctly, that your file does not have
the correct filename extension, or that you are
attempting to validate a file type that we do not support
yet. In the latter case you should let us know that you
need us to support that content type (please include all
relevant details, including the URL to the standards
document defining the content type) using the
instructions on the Feedback Page. "

When validating the same file in FireFox I have no
problem.
How can I get the validation service to work with
Internet Explorer again.
I have tried turning off the windows firewall and it
still will not work.
                    Thank you!
