Howdy, Amazon broke Lynx about three months ago; I tried chatting with them today, but they won't even give me a bug number (although they claim they'll forward a message to their technical team). Because "links" works with Amazon, I figured I'd try asking y'all whether there's something you can do.
There are actually two problems: * The newer problem is that using Amazon's "mobile/accessibility" subsite causes an HTTP 204 on this URL: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/ya?ref_=aw_bottom_links_ya It looks like wget has the same problem. * The other problem is that Amazon's main login claims that Lynx isn't using cookies (this has been going on for years and is why I just login through the mobile/accessibility subsite): https://www.amazon.com/ap/signin?_encoding=UTF8&openid.assoc_handle=usflex&openid.claimed_id=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0%2Fidentifier_select&openid.identity=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0%2Fidentifier_select&openid.mode=checkid_setup&openid.ns=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fauth%2F2.0&openid.ns.pape=http%3A%2F%2Fspecs.openid.net%2Fextensions%2Fpape%2F1.0&openid.pape.max_auth_age=0&openid.return_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fcss%2Fhomepage.html%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dgno_yam_ya [...] Oh, futz, Amazon's playing games with User-Agent, when I set mine to "Mozilla/5.0" it works. (You may substitute something stronger for "futz".) Figure I'll send this anyway in case it helps someone else. :-( I haven't seen broken cookie behavior based on User-Agent before.
