=head1 NAME
WebService::Validator::HTML::W3C - Access the W3Cs online HTML validator
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use WebService::Validator::HTML::W3C;
my $v = WebService::Validator::HTML::W3C->new(
detailed => 1
);
if ( $v->validate("http://www.example.com/") ) {
if ( $v->is_valid ) {
printf ("%s is valid\n", $v->uri);
} else {
printf ("%s is not valid\n", $v->uri);
foreach $error ( @{$v->errors} ) {
printf("%s at line %d\n", $error->msg,
$error->line);
}
}
} else {
printf ("Failed to validate the website: %s\n", $v->validator_error);
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
WebService::Validator::HTML::W3C provides access to the W3C's online
Markup validator. As well as reporting on whether a page is valid it
also provides access to a detailed list of the errors and where in
the validated document they occur.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new
my $v = WebService::Validator::HTML::W3C->new();
Returns a new instance of the WebService::Validator::HTML::W3C object.
There are various options that can be set when creating the Validator
object like so:
my $v = WebService::Validator::HTML::W3C->new( http_timeout => 20 );
=over 4
=item validator_uri
The URI of the validator to use. By default this accesses the W3Cs validator at http://validator.w3.org/check. If you have a local installation of the validator ( recommended if you wish to do a lot of testing ) or wish to use a validator at another location then you can use this option. Please note that you need to use the full path to the validator cgi.
=item ua
The user agent to use. Should be an LWP::UserAgent object or something that provides the same interface. If this argument is provided, the C<http_timeout> and C<proxy> arguments are ignored.
=item http_timeout
How long (in seconds) to wait for the HTTP connection to timeout when
contacting the validator. By default this is 30 seconds.
=item detailed
This fetches the XML response from the validator in order to provide information for the errors method. You should set this to true if you intend to use the errors method.
=item proxy
An HTTP proxy to use when communicating with the validation service.
=item output
Controls which output format is used. Can be either xml or soap12.
At the moment the default is XML as this is the only one supported by the Validator. However in the future it is moving to using SOAP for the detailed reporting.
The default will always work so unless you're using a development version of the Validator you can safely ignore this.

}
=head2 validate
$v->validate( 'http:://www.example.com/' );
Validate a URI. Returns 0 if the validation fails (e.g if the
validator cannot be reached), otherwise 1.
=head2 validate_file
$v->validate_file( './file.html' );
Validate a file by uploading it to the W3C Validator. NB This has only been tested on a Linux box so may not work on non unix machines.
=head2 validate_markup
$v->validate_markup( $markup );
Validate a scalar containing HTML.

}
=head2 is_valid
$v->is_valid;
Returns true (1) if the URI validated otherwise 0.
=head2 uri
$v->uri();
Returns the URI of the last page on which validation succeeded.
=head2 num_errors
$num_errors = $v->num_errors();
Returns the number of errors that the validator encountered.
=head2 errors
$errors = $v->errors();
foreach my $err ( @$errors ) {
printf("line: %s, col: %s\n\terror: %s\n",
$err->line, $err->col, $err->msg);
}
Returns an array ref of WebService::Validator::HTML::W3C::Error objects.
These have line, col and msg methods that return a line number, a column
in that line and the error that occurred at that point.
Note that you need XML::XPath for this to work and you must have initialised
WebService::Validator::HTML::W3C with the detailed option. If you have not
set the detailed option a warning will be issued, the detailed option will
be set and a second request made to the validator in order to fetch the
required information.
If there was a problem processing the detailed information then this method
will return 0.
=head2 warnings
ONLY available with the SOAP output from the development Validator at the moment.
$warnings = $c->warnings();
Works exactly the same as errors only returns an array ref of WebService::Validator::HTML::W3C::Warning objects. In all other respects it's the same.

=head2 validator_error
$error = $v->validator_error();
Returns a string indicating why validation may not have occurred. This is not
the reason that a webpage was invalid. It is the reason that no meaningful
information about the attempted validation could be obtained. This is most
likely to be an HTTP error
Possible values are:
=over 4
=item You need to supply a URI to validate
You didn't pass a URI to the validate method
=item You need to supply a URI with a scheme
The URI you passed to validate didn't have a scheme on the front. The
W3C validator can't handle URIs like www.example.com but instead
needs URIs of the form http://www.example.com/.
=item Not a W3C Validator or Bad URI
The URI did not return the headers that WebService::Validator::HTML::W3C
relies on so it is likely that there is not a W3C Validator at that URI.
The other possibility is that it didn't like the URI you provided. Sadly
the Validator doesn't give very useful feedback on this at the moment.
=item Could not contact validator
WebService::Validator::HTML::W3C could not establish a connection to the URI.
=item Did not get a sensible result from the validator
Should never happen and most likely indicates a problem somewhere but
on the off chance that WebService::Validator::HTML::W3C is unable to make
sense of the response from the validator you'll get this error.
=item Result format does not appear to be SOAP|XML
If you've asked for detailed results and the reponse from the validator
isn't in the expected format then you'll get this error. Most likely to
happen if you ask for SOAP output from a validator that doesn't
support that format.

=head1 OTHER MODULES
Please note that there is also an official W3C module that is part of the
L<W3C::LogValidator> distribution. However that module is not very useful outside
the constraints of that package. WebService::Validator::HTML::W3C is meant as a more general way to access the W3C Validator.
L<HTML::Validator> uses nsgmls to validate against
the W3Cs DTDs. You have to fetch the relevant DTDs and so on.
There is also the L<HTML::Parser> based L<HTML::Lint> which mostly checks for
known tags rather than XML/HTML validity.
=head1 IMPORTANT
This module is not in any way associated with the W3C so please do not
report any problems with this module to them. Also please remember that
the online Validator is a shared resource so do not abuse it. This means
sleeping between requests. If you want to do a lot of testing against it
then please consider downloading and installing the Validator software
which is available from the W3C. Debian testing users will also find that
it is available via apt-get.
=head1 BUGS
While the interface to the Validator is fairly stable it may be
updated. I will endeavour to track any changes with this module so please
check on CPAN for new versions if you find things break. Also note that this
module is only guaranteed to work with the currently stable version of the
validator. It will most likely work with any Beta versions but don't rely
on it.
If in doubt please try and run the test suite before reporting bugs.
That said I'm very happy to hear about bugs. All the more so if they come
with patches ;).
=head1 THANKS
To the various people on the code review ladder mailing list who
provided useful suggestions.
Carl Vincent provided a patch to allow for proxy support.
Chris Dolan provided a patch to allow for custom user agents.
