Bela,

I could not reproduce your experience.

Here's the bottom line after the redirects:

-- dump of information page showing properly formed link

Lynx 2.8.4pre.5 (14 Jul 2001) ([1]pre-release version)

File that you are currently viewing

Linkname: Welcome to Habeas
URL: http://www.habeas.com/
Charset: iso-8859-1
Server: Apache/2.0.39 (Unix) mod_perl/1.99_03-dev Perl/v5.6.1
PHP/4.2.2

Last Mod: Wed, 27 Nov 2002 01:31:03 GMT

Owner(s): None
size: 54 lines

Link that you currently have selected

Linkname: About Habeas
URL: http://www.habeas.com/about/overview.htm

-- end information page

In the trace I find the following

-- trace fragment


getfile: getting http://www.habeas.com

HTParse: aName:`http://www.habeas.com'
relatedName:`'
HTParse: result:www.habeas.com
fix_httplike_urls: URL 'http://www.habeas.com'
changed to 'http://www.habeas.com/'

-- end trace fragment

which clearly shows where what you are not getting is performed by my copy of the program.

Noticed this with some 2.8.4 vintage Lynx, downloaded 2.8.5dev.9 and got
the same thing:

  $ lynx http://www.habeus.com/
  Using http://www.habeas.com
  [Current link is http://www.habeas.comabout/overview.htm]

I misspelled the name of their site -- I typed "habeus" where it should
have been "habeas".  They redirected to the correct site, but without a
trailing slash.  Lynx then based all of the relative URLs on that page
on the prefix "http://www.habeas.com";, sans trailing slash.

I'm sure the redirect was wrong, and should be fixed.  I'm not so sure
whether Lynx was doing something wrong here, or maybe just "not
sufficiently right".  A cross-check with Netscape (4.7, all I had handy)
shows that it takes the redirect in the right spirit.

The redirect looks like:

  HTTP/1.1 302 Found
  Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2002 22:48:09 GMT
  Server: Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) mod_perl/1.24
  Location: http://www.habeas.com
  Connection: close
  Content-Type: httpd/unix-directory

and would be perfect if there was a trailing "/" on the Location:
header.
