I think what is happening here is that when the first chunk is loaded the
buffer is rendered but somehow <form ...> is cut at the middle and lynx
can not recover until it receives </form>. There is no easy way of
recovering this on the fly, though (which is done when the reader returns
HT_LOADED true, I guess).
For me I don't feel the telnet speed. But, after couple of hours of
surfing with the new display, I started doing 'z + [ l ] + arrow/mouse'
whenever I see what I expect. Unless it is at the very end, this
_increases_ the speed of _surfing_ (of course not the communication).
And have you tried doing this:
* wait until first block of data loaded.
* then type ^E -or- END
* Now, you will catch new coming blocks of data until you move to
somewhere else in the document (again costly on the connection).
I plan to put RIGHT_MOUSE_BUTTON in the recognized buttons (while the page
is loaded) to do the INTR ('z'), which can make, again, easy surfing.
Still I could not figure out file:// read. '.gz' works if its URL is
'http://'. Any suggestions where to look for?
