OK, neither does my copy of Lynx2.6, without SSL patches, when I connect
directly to the HTTP servers. When I go through a CERN http_proxy, as
I usually do, a non-empty message body after the HTTP headers is dumped
on the floor by the proxy. I was mistakenly assuming that it was Lynx
suppressing display of the superfluous (and protocol-violating) data.
I should not have assumed that D. Combs was using an old Lynx version
based on my unverified understanding. So Netcom is not as bad w.r.t.
offering an up-to-date Lynx version as I thought. There is therefore no
need for D. Combs to tell them to upgrade.
Anyway, as Fote pointed out, garbage data in response to a HEAD request
(and anything except HTTP headers *is* garbage there) can be 'z'apped,
as usual.
