I started out to figure out why a particular url https://braille.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/hdfForecast?brand=braille&query=74074
works quite well on a Debian wheezy system but bombs out on a Debian jessie system with the complaint that it can't find the start file. Looking up braille.wunderground.com Making HTTPS connection to braille.wunderground.com lynx: Can't access startfile https://braille.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweathe r/hdfForecast?brand=braille&query=74074 So much for that. lynx --version on that system produces Lynx Version 2.8.9dev.1 (12 Mar 2014) libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, GNUTLS 3.3.8, ncurses 5.9.20140913(wide) Built on linux-gnu Jun 5 2015 11:34:27 A Debian wheezy system which is a few years older produces the following from lynx --version Lynx Version 2.8.8dev.12 (22 Feb 2012) libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, GNUTLS 2.12.20, ncurses 5.9.20110404(wide) Built on linux-gnu Nov 23 2016 21:57:17 The wheezy system shows a lower version number and earlier year than does the jessie distribution but the build date is newer. The older system just works with the url and the higher-numbered version is the one that can't find the start file. I used apt-get lynx on both systems and did not build from source. The wheezy system's lynx generally works better with less of those head-scratchers such as the example from above. I am trying to figure out whether this is something I have done or what and if it is, how did I manage to make the newer system more likely to have trouble than the older one?
