The host staffnew.shu.ac.uk does not appear to exist (or resolve to a public IP 
address).

However, from the description, I would guess that the web server is returning a 
page with Content-Type set to text/plain, causing the plain-text display you 
see (Internet Explorer will incorrectly 'guess' that the content is text/html 
instead).

Incorrect content-type + unreachable URL => INVALID

btw: you can see the content-type if you load the page and use page Info (CTRL+I).
You can see it under "type"
