I'm not sure - but looking at the trace, it appears that lynx is seeing EASYNET1 in the "Content-location", and using that information to modify the GET. This still has the same behavior in 2.8.5dev.7, and comparing against the usual selection of other browsers appears to be a bug in lynx. (See changes from 01-07-97 by FM). Here's the section of trace I'm looking at: HTMIME: Server: Microsoft-IIS/4.0 Content-Location: http://www.srsb.org.uk/EASYNET1/s/r/s/srsb/index.html Date: Mon, 06 May 2002 19:28:07 GMT Content-Type: text/html Accept-Ranges: bytes Last-Modified: Thu, 02 May 2002 20:11:13 GMT ETag: "806dc8115f2c11:4a7f" Content-Length: 5825 > However, entering the site with a full page url of > www.srsb.org.uk/index.html > does not produce any errors and all pages display exactly as they should. > > I would prefer not to have to replace all the relative links with absolute > links, if possible. > > If you are able to throw any light on this, I would be grateful. > Equally I hope > this information is of use to you. > > Regards, > > Peter Norrington > Web Designer, SRSB > > > > > > > ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Thomas E.
