Congratulations, you dug up quite a collection there of sites/servers
that are, apparently, incapable of implementing a *basic* HTTP 1.0
method correctly... So far I only knew of www.msnbc.com, a site always
good for examples of how not do do things. I didn't know the ones you
listed were incompetent.
Anyway, you must be using an ancient Lynx version. 2.5 and 2.6 throw
the garbage away. *Tell* those folks at Netcom to upgrade - after all
you pay them money, right?
