Hi Bob,

Thanks for your efforts. :-)

Sadly I have discovered that even if "https:" is always safe, it not 
always works on (not so) old browsers:

"As of May 07, 2017 the Fossies server fossies.org is now only be 
accessible by HTTPS using the modern TLSv1.2 protocol to make sure the 
exchanged information and data are always protected.

A hint: If you use for some strange reasons an old client (for e.g. 
lower than Firefox 27, Chrome 30, IE 11 on Windows 7, Edge, Opera 17, 
Safari 9, Android 5.0, and Java 8) you can access the Fossies data still 
by the HTTP protocol by using instead of the native host name 
fossies.org the alternate name fresh-center.net and URLs like 
http://fresh‑center.net/...";

Given that the "valid html" button is not a required feature of the ed 
page, and the problems it has already caused, I have finally removed it. 
Sorry for the inconveniences.


Best regards,
Antonio.
