Package: lynx
Version: 2.8.9dev16-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When I use Lynx to read a web page, it freezes when the web page starts
with the subdomain 'news.' For example, on the terminal when I type in
this:

    lynx news.ycombinator.com

Then Lynx freezes while displaying this message in the status bar:

    Making NNTP connection to news.ycombinator.com

Lynx handles https://news.ycombinator.com just fine, but when https://
is missing, Lynx just assumes that I'm looking for something one Usenet.

Same problem with news.google.com, news.yahoo.com, etc.

I think it would be more reasonable if Lynx assumed HTTP unless told
otherwise, or perhaps had a time out in case NNTP lookup failed.
Freezing indefinitely is not the best option in that case.

Description:
 lynx       - classic non-graphical (text-mode) web browser
 lynx-common - shared files for lynx package
Closes: 893907
Changes:
 lynx (2.8.9dev18-1) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Elimar Riesebieter ]
   * Import upstream version 2.8.9dev18.
     - modify legacy feature from Lynx 2.7.2 which checks the hostname of a URI
       to guess whether to use HTTP, FTP, etc., depending upon the prefix of the
       URIs hostname.  This is now an optional feature, GUESS_SCHEME, which
       defaults to FALSE (Closes: #893907)
   * Refreshed lynxcfg.patch.
   * Declare compliance with Debian Policy 4.1.4. (No changes needed.)
 .
   [ Axel Beckert ]
   * Add a debian/gbp.conf so that signed tags and pristine-tar are default.
