Subject: security: www-site password is transferred to validator.w3.org for html-code check function
From: xsov@mail.ru
X-KDE-Received: -212.176.226.222

Package:           konqueror
Version:           KDE 3.0.0 
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Slackware Packages
Compiler:          GCC 2.95.3
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Linux Slackware 8.0 (GCC from Slackware)

1. We have www-site with password.
2. We use link like http://USER:PASSWD@SITE.DOM
3. It is Ok that PASSWD disappears in address bar when going to this link.
4. It is security hole when PASSWD is transferred to validator.w3.org without notification, when I use HTML-code check function from menu.

Seriously, dumb user can use this function and password for intranet-corporate confidencial www-system will transfer over all internet to validator.w3.org.

I think same hole is with CSS-code check.
