Why isn't "this type of URI scheme ... supported"?

[Ted Altenberg]

w3c.org recommends I ask this group, so here you go:

I'm trying to validate a page I have at:
http://members.cruzio.com/~webcab9/svft/contract.html but the w3c valiadator
said "this type of URI scheme (undefined) is not supported by this
service..." Why not? I know I've validated pages in the past at
members.cruzio. com/~webcab/ ...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I guess you forgot the mandatory leading "http://", try

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://members.cruzio.com/~webcab9/svft/contract.html

Went through the validator just fine for me, although it doesn't
validate as HTML 4.10 Transitional. There are several errors you need
to fix.

Are you getting the "this type of URI scheme..." error when trying to
validate a file on your hard drive and using the online validator? Or
vice versa?
