Hi, Just found that lynx doesn't send HTTP_REFERRER for pages that are result of form submission via GET. Quote from lynx.cfg shows that this is intended behaviour:
# If NO_REFERER_HEADER is TRUE, Referer headers never will be sent in # transmissions to servers. Lynx normally sends the URL of the document # from which the link was derived, but not for startfile URLs, 'g'oto # URLs, 'j'ump shortcuts, bookmark file links, history list links, or # URLs that include the content from form submissions with method GET. # If left FALSE here, it can be set TRUE at run time via the -noreferer # switch. # #NO_REFERER_HEADER:FALSE That seems to be a very wrong approach, that makes developing lynx-friendly dynamic web sites much more difficult (thus making some webmasters totally forget about lynx-friendliness). Moreover, Mozilla, NN4.x and IE send HTTP_REFERRER for pages that are result of form submission via GET, unlike lynx. So I strongly recommend this totally wrong lynx's behaviour to be corrected. What do you think about this? Best regards, -Vlad ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
