error(?) "302 Found" on Validator XHTML W3C

Hello to everybody.

I'm working in Italy on this website
http://www.fondazioneantonioruberti.it/ariene/
as css/xhtml/graphic designer in cooperation with a php programmer and
a ISP provider.
The site is still in test but i'm having no answer from
http://validator.w3.org/ except "302 found" for this page
http://www.fondazioneantonioruberti.it/ariene/
and also
http://www.fondazioneantonioruberti.it/ariene/index.php .

I've tried to follow these warnings
http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E302.html
and
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/...html#sec10.3.3

But i've no idea wher should be the problem, and the php programmer and
ISP seem to want to ignore these thread i've suggested to them (maybe
for problem with english? ).
Anyway, please, does somebody have solved in the past somthing similar?

Thanks in advance.

All the best.

Very strange, because I got the same result as you from the validator,
but I just requested the latter URL with the network monitor on, and the
request definitely came back with a 200 status.

Loading this URL in Lynx show the following headers:

In essence, http://www.fondazioneantonioruberti.it/ariene/index.php
tries to redirect to itself, something which would cause an endless
loop.

Thanx!
Lynx, right.
It's just one step beyond.
We'll try to deepen this way.

It looks like the PHP script tests for the presence of a cookie, if it isn't
found it tries to set it, then redirects the user back to the same page.

If the user agent doesn't support, or has disabled, cookies (and the Markup
Validator is such a user agent), then this ends up with an infinite loop.
