Package: lynx
Version: 2.8.5-2sarge2
Severity: normal

hi,

lynx won't allow to save files like eg libvolume-id0_0.100-1~bpo.1_i386.deb
I've tried to escape the '~' but could only succeed by changing it to
%7e. wget(1) has no troubles. 

I think lynx is broken 2 times here: 
 1) it should just write the file, of course, without trying any ~ expand 
    and/or perhaps with proper escaping
 2) it should issue a proper err msg: as is it seems user has no w 
    permission, which makes harder to figure out the problem.


thanks
