Occasionally, I found that lynx sends referer field pointing out
to local files, including temporary files, which may be not good
because of privacy and security reasons (and we guess how remote user
may found temp file name generated by lynx). I think the referer: field
should not be sent if previous page was not http://
One example: press 'l' to see "links list page"
and try to follow some link. (I made a trace log from dev.18
but seem this area was not changed for a while):
