## Web-based usage
86-
87-
The `vnu.jar` validator provides a way for you to validate HTML documents over
88-
the Web, in a Web browser, as an HTTP service—just as with
89-
[http://html5.validator.nu/][5] and [http://validator.w3.org/nu/][6].
90-
91-
[5]: http://html5.validator.nu/ [6]: http://validator.w3.org/nu/
92-
93-
To run the validator as an HTTP service, open a new terminal window and invoke
94-
`vnu.jar` like this:
95-
96-
java -cp ~/vnu.jar nu.validator.servlet.Main 8888
97-
98-
Then open [http://localhost:8888][7] in a browser. (To have the validator listen
99-
on a different port, replace `8888` with the port number.)
100-
101-
[7]: http://localhost:8888
102-
103-
You’ll see a form similar to [http://validator.w3.org/nu/][8] that allows you to
104-
type in the URL of an HTML document and have the validation results for that

document displayed in the browser.

## HTTP client (for fast command-line validation)
110-
111-
You can also use `vnu.jar` from the command line to send HTML documents to a
112-
locally-running instance of the HTTP service for validation. To validate
113-
documents in that way, do this:
114-
115-
1. Open a new terminal window and start up the validator as an HTTP service,
116-
as described in the "Web-based usage" section.
117-
118-
2. Open a second new terminal window and invoke `vnu.jar` like this:
119-
120-
java -cp ~/vnu.jar nu.validator.client.HttpClient FILE.html...
121-
122-
### HTTP client options
123-
124-
When using `vnu.jar` for sending documents to a locally-running instance of the
125-
validator HTTP service for validation, you can set Java system properties to
126-
control configuration options for the validation behavior.
127-
128-
For example, you can suppress warning-level validation messages and only show
129-
error-level ones by setting the value of the `nu.validator.client.level` system
130-
property to `error`, like this:
131-
132-
java -Dnu.validator.client.level=error\
133-
-cp ~/vnu.jar nu.validator.client.HttpClient FILE.html...
134-
135-
Most of the properties listed below map to the validator.nu common input
136-
