Oh I can top that one.
I use the main amazon.com site, not the access one. so I first visited to
see if things were the same, not recognizing my cookie etc.
then I tried Gordon's suggestion, unchecked the box, and my information
returned to normal. as in hello Karen Lewellen etc. Likewise the
no content error disappeared.
But that is not all.
There are more and more places where I meet with the 403 forbidden error
one of them is here.
www.33daypath.com
if you go there with lynx minus the suggested change you will get the
forbidden error.
For kicks I tried going with the change, and the page displayed
perfectly!
Agreed it does return to default once you leave the browser because it
cannot be saved. But I have a ton of places that I cannot visit which I
will be testing again to learn if this plays a role.

Hi,
I solved the "Alert! HTTP/1.1 204 NoContent" problem
with http://www.amazon.com/accss tonight by chance.
I went into the options and unchecked "Send User_Agent header(!)".
I was able to login into my account and check my cart, etc.
It still said that my caps lock was on and that I didn't
have cookies enabled, but it left some entries. Interesting.
Unfortunately, (maybe it's for the best) Lynx doesn't save
the unchecked box and re-checks it when you re-start.
It's configurable - see this in lynx.cfg:
#ENABLE_LYNXRC:USERAGENT:OFF
