I did get the "cookie" error. Sometimes I have copied cookies into .lynx_cookies from another browser if I think there really is an issue with cookie files, but often a canned error script's blatherings about cookies or "recent site redesigns" are red herrings and are unrelated to anything except the site's unwillingness to give real information about errors. I have set up this kind of thing for commercial sites. Because certain default error handling on webservers can expose information about the server platform and configuration, this is a standard practise. (I actually don't know if this is a cookie problem or not for this specific site. The trace file was 226K.) pcfinancial.ca here in Canada had an especially stupid error page claiming browser cookie handling was a problem whenever a login failed. espn.com sends their 404 script for all errors AFAIK too. A remaining peeve of mine is the "invalid cookie" accept keystroke for espn.go.com cookies (impossible to cure, years of trying, sigh). If you ask this reunion.com site for a non-existent page you'll get a nonsense page sent about them "working hard to fix your account". I think the automating of "saying the right thing" should be classified as spam. --Stef http://caunter.ca <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11:26PM up 5 days, 8:16, 1 user, load averages: 0.06, 0.07, 0.08 OpenBSD 3.3 i386 Intel Pentium Pro ("GenuineIntel" 686-class, 256KB L2 cache) On Fri, 19 Sep 2003, Henry Nelson wrote: > I consistently get a core dump by doing: > press 'g' > enter "http://www.reunion.com/site-root/Login.jsp"; > press '[Enter]' > [down arrow] to 'User name: [4]' > enter "burgerking" > [down arrow] to 'Password: [5]' > enter "whopper" > [down arrow] to '[6]Login' > press '^t' > press '[Enter]' > Anyone else? > > If you don't turn on Trace with '^t', Lynx does not core dump, but you > are presented with a "you need Cookies turned on to login" page (even > with a valid, i.e., works with MSIE, user name and password). > > __Henry > > P.S.
