Java error (on running for single file)

[bartvanderwal]

I followed the README.md but getting an JAVA error when running

Details

So I did:
>npm install -g w3c-validator-cli

And then:
>w3c-validator index.html

It seems to connect to the W3C website but then throws an llegalArgumentException and something with JSON formatting:

Hope you can help me on this, cause this tool seems valuable to save me some time copy-pasting stuff myself :).

Ah it seems your tools works on actual URL's and not on static .html files. The restriction mentioned in another issue (#4) that you then also have to run on port 80 is not really realistic with my workflow. I'd suggested changing also allowing static .html files or non 80 ports.

For now I'll try and find another tool (html-validator-cli seems to do what I want).

To be honest I'm not using this anymore. Probably something changed on w3c's end. If you are willing to create a PR I'm happy to merge.
