Oh! This is likely a bug in the *server*, as the pages are usually not stored compressed but that’s done on-the-fly, and some use deflate or compress and serve as gzip viceque versa. For more details, search the list archives, I vaguely recall writing about it in more detail. Quick test: hit (O)ptions, and change… Preferred encoding : [36][(5)__All_____] … to… Preferred encoding : [36][(1)__None____] … and retry (ideally, do that in a new browser session, and before you visit the server in question). If the pages get down with no corruption, that’s it. Iff that works, you can try… Preferred encoding : [36][(2)__gzip____] … and see if that also works. Either way, that means the server operator has misconfigured their webserver. (Back then, I verified the code, input, and output of lynx against the various standards involved and could come to the conclusion that it’s correct.) bye, //mirabilos -- 22:20⎜<asarch> The crazy that persists in his craziness becomes a master 22:21⎜<asarch> And the distance between the craziness and geniality is only measured by the success 18:35⎜<asarch> "Psychotics are consistently inconsistent.
