I get a premature EOF error from the w3c html validator and my Safari browser, yet the document is fine

The w3c validator.nu is giving me this bizarre error when I try to validate the document:

https:// ssh - test . me / booking

(remove all spaces before you copy-paste)

If you hit the ‘source’ option it shows the document truncated at </bo or </bod in the closing </body> tag. This however is not the case.

There is something deeper going on here though, as the document is xhtml, so the browser - I use iPadOS Safari - immediately shows any errors. And so luckily it shows the exact same error on line 46 iirc, error message "> expected" and again in the middle of the </body> tag.

Can anyone help me understand this? I tried a copy-paste from another xhtml document just to rule out garve in my source code, but no change.

I realise now what is going on. On my own machine the document is fine. But the copy on the webserver is truncated according to a hexdump. It took me a while to realise that the two are not the same. Doh. So now to work out how the upload is corrupting this document.
