I agree - and I see one way people can make use of it: defining LYNX in /etc/apache2/envvars like e.g.: #v+ export LYNX="netrik --dump" #v- That should work from reading the source and fix the issue for everyone. Do you think you could add that either as a comment into the envvars file that this is possible, or put it into some other docs? That could then be assumed as a fix for this bug. :) Thanks in advance! Rhonda -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-apache-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

This is a browser problem. Almost all the www-browsers support -dump. I fail to see why it is an apache problem to work around it. A package that offers an alternative should be capable to provide all the basic options as the others. > netrik e.g. does need > --dump.

Well one of the 2 will have to switch. I am not dealing to implements 20 different exceptions because of this. > This needs to be addressed soon and should IMHO definitely go into > sarge.

I am leaving this bug open, but i don't believe it is our job to fix it so for me it's a wishlist that i wontfix. If you have valid arguments, I am wide open for discussion (that's why i am not closing it), but to me looks like an inconsistency between www-browsers that needs to be solved there. Fabio -- fajita: step one Whatever the problem, step one is always to look in the error log. fajita: step two When in danger or in doubt, step two is to scream and shout.
