I don't really have much sympathy with this problem as the URL is deliberately designed to mislead filtering software; it is a typical spammer's trick. However, I think one can reasonably assume that Lynx is sending everything between // and the first single / to one of: - the user's proxy; - the microsoft server; - the offender's server at 212.254.206.213. My guess would be the user's proxy, as it seems unlikely that Lynx would successfully parse out the legitimate host name and then send the whole lot - similarly for the bogus host name. It's possible that the person who is getting failed to connect is not using a proxy and getting a DNS error as a result of looking up the whole field. > Security warning: you are about to go to an address > that contained a username before the servername: That's a good description of the real problem. I would say that you should almost certainly abandon any URL that produces this warning as it is almost certainly malicious. ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
