using 2-8-3dev.14 w/o SSL & entering g , then http://www.hotmail.com/ ,
i get the following series of messages (in reverse order):
1. Data transfer complete
2. HTTP/1.1 200 OK
3. HTTP request sent; waiting for response.
4. Sending HTTP request.
5. Making HTTP connection to lc3.law5.hotmail.passport.com.
6. Looking up lc3.law5.hotmail.passport.com.
7. HTTP/1.1 302 Redirected
8. HTTP request sent; waiting for response.
9. Sending HTTP request.
10. Making HTTP connection to www.hotmail.com.
11. Looking up www.hotmail.com.
however, somewhere in there i also get the (unlisted) message:
Accept invalid cookie domain=.passport.com
for 'lc6.law5.hotmail.passport.com' ;
if i answer `y' (usually, i reject all cookies w/o thinking), i get:
lc6.law5.hotmail.passport.com cookie: Browse=Succes
Allow? (Y/N/Always/neVer) ;
if i answer `v', i get what appears to be the Hotmail start page:
http://lc6.law5.hotmail.passport.com/cgi-bin/login ;
the same happens if i answer `n' initially.

there are 3 lines of JS AD FIN in the source.
BTW there does appear to be a bug in Lynx here:
it's not recording the cookie messages in the lynxmessages: list.
