You can change lynx's referer behavior in a few ways, but can't specify the referer string to send, which I gather is what you are looking for. Mozilla with the Multizilla extension allows that, I believe. Search lynx.cfg for REFERER and you'll find (briefly summarized): NO_REFERER_HEADER:[TRUE|FALSE] If set to TRUE, lynx never sends the URL of the page from whence you came. Some sites won't work with this setting. The commandline switch for this is " -noreferer ". NO_FILE_REFERER:[TRUE|FALSE] If set to TRUE, referer won't be sent if the referring page has a FILE:// URL (a page on your local machine with links to external sites, for instance). Commandline: -nofilereferer REFERER_WITH_QUERY:[DROP|SEND|PARTIAL] When the referring URL looks like " http://site?name=joe&passwd=seekrit&;... ", DROP sends no referer, SEND does, and PARTIAL sends just the URL portion preceeding the query part. No commandline switch, AFAIK. More details in the lynx.cfg comments.
