Re: [Lynx-dev] lynx word bleeding?
I was wondering because it is marked as one of those that cannot be saved to disc. On Wed, 2 Feb 2022, Chime Hart wrote: Hi Karen-and-All: As always the LYNX options menu acts like it will save, even when checking that box on link4 "save options to disk" but in this case it did not save. Chime

Re: [Lynx-dev] lynx word bleeding?
Yes chime, it is not there. I am told by dreamhost that it tends to be in a lynx.cfg that is stored elsewhere. although it was I believe in their 2.8.9dev.16. So I changed it in shellworld 2.9.0dev.5, and it worked. you were able to save the option?

Re: [Lynx-dev] lynx word bleeding?
Hi Ian, As Mouse says, this site isn't sending a Content-Type header. Lynx actually has an option for this, and so if Lynxes are treating it differently it probably means the option differs between environments. Extract from lynx.cfg: .h2 PREFERRED_CONTENT_TYPE # When doing a GET, lynx expects the server to provide a Content-Type, i.e., # the MIME name which tells it how to present data. When that is missing # lynx uses this value. #PREFERRED_CONTENT_TYPE: text/plain You can set this within Lynx on the (o)ptions screen, though by default it's not saved to disk. You want to set it to text/html in order to properly view the above page. and this seems to be the issue. Shellworld lynx 2.9.0dev.5 Has this as text/plain, not html. Older copies of lynx here, and the other shell example I can check read the page just fine. Ian you indicate that this cannot be saved on the options menu, meaning it must be corrected where ever the compile or main lynx.cfg is stored? Thanks, Karen
Re: [Lynx-dev] lynx word bleeding?
Hi Chime, I just visited your link using what is 2.9.0dev.5 and indeed it is all code. Makes me wonder if there is a setting misconfigured between prior lynx on shellworld and this new build. Karen ..who wants to visit that site for its content now too. On Tue, 1 Feb 2022, Chime Hart wrote: Hi All: I still use Shellworld, as well as my own Debian setup. Funny thing is I visit www.radiotapes.com On my machine I only see raw html. Meanwhile with an older LYNX on Shellworld, I see the site fine, I have no idea why these 2 versions are seeing this site so differently? Thanks so much in advance Chime

Note: I believe there shouldn't be a space between the colon and 'text' in the lynx.cfg setting - at least it didn't work for me with a space but did work without. This means there is a bug either in the parser or in the sample lynx.cfg which comes with Lynx. imc
Re: [Lynx-dev] lynx word bleeding?
Thank you Mouse for examining. I did write my contact at that site. At the time I figured it had changed recently, but actually it were the LYNX changes on Shellworld. I remember there was a site back maybe 2008 or so which I had to switch to the source-code-and-back to regular view-and-it would correct. Just located the site of that program which went off in 2010, looks fine now, so I guess there's no point in my posting an url. Chime
