Unless you tell it otherwise. We're telling you that telling it 
otherwise WILL work. Humor us and try it. :)

I have a CGI which is a two-parter; first part is a GET, second part 
is a POST. The second part reads the HTTP_REFERER from the GET 
submission. It does work! You just have to change your lynx.cfg file 
from the default settings to the settings as clemensF posted.

The thread from 12/31/2001 mentions what version of Lynx is required 
for this to work.
