You are seeing this message because this HTTPS site requires a
'Referer header' to be sent by your Web browser, but none was sent.
The normal reason for requiring REFER is actually as an anti-deep
linking measure, to make sure that you accessed the resource from their
page which probably carries the advertising that pays for their site.
It also helps stop simple automata.
You might need to check your lynx.cfg file for various REFERER*
settings. In particular, you want to make sure that you don't have
REFERER_WITH_QUERY:DROP
but rather either
The reason people might want to use this is to make click trailing
difficult, particularly cross-site click trailing.
REFERER_WITH_QUERY:PARTIAL
or the less-secure
The common reason for this is to prevent search engine keywords being
recovered.
