Hi.  Just started using elinks recently, and I'm finding it a great little
tool!  (Kudos to the developers!)  Having an odd problem with it, though, and
thought someone here might be able to assist.

When I'm on an page with a form on it (e.g., http://login.yahoo.com/ ...
others too), I receive an odd error page when I submit the form (attached
below).

I think this error page is coming from our proxy server.  For some reason it
seems to be having a problem with either the form submission itself or a
subsequent redirect that is getting done right afterwards.  But the problem
only occurs when using the links & elinks browsers.  I don't have this problem
with Mozilla/Firefox (on Linux or Windows), IE, or even with lynx.  Odd.

Anyone have any ideas what might be happening here and how to correct it?  Is
there some configuration setting I can tweak to address this?

If I can find a solution to this, I'll use lynx if I have to, I suppose.  But
I'd much rather use elinks due to all the great features it has.

TIA,

DR
