It looks like it's sniffing the User Agent and acting broken when it receives something it doesn't recognize. I just swapped my user-agent string (in the Options) from my default Lynx user-agent of Lynx/2.8.8dev.12 libwww-FM/2.14 SSL-MM/1.4.1 GNUTLS/2.12.18 to the user-agent string from my copy of Firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0 and it at least loaded (I'm not familiar with the site, so I don't know what to expect). It's bad site-design on their part to only allow certain user-agents, but you can't control stupidity. -tim _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
