no - I'd forgotten just when I added the brotli support. I see now that I started that two months later: 2022-12-28 (2.9.0dev.11) * changes for using brotli stream decompression -TD The current snapshot here (2.9.2u): https://github.com/ThomasDickey/lynx-snapshots "should" work. (I have some work on an unrelated feature which I'd like to complete for the next release -- any regressions in the snapshots would be of interest as well). -- Thomas E.
