Hi,
First off, thank you all for giving Lynx to the community!
I _think_ I found a bug in LYCookies.c (Lynx 2.8.1).
I wanted to automate post-query'ing a site which redirects Lynx with a 302
(yes, it's Microsoft :) to another page. It uses cookies to save info.
Browsing everything went fine, but using post_data Lynx kept losing the
cookie. I checked the help rigorously and after that the source to find some
switch I had forgotten, but I _think_ I found a bug there.
store_cookie (LYCookies.c) skips walking through domain_list if
dump_output_immediately=TRUE. However, 'de' which holds the domain_entry is
initialized during this walk.
As such, HTConfirmCookie (HTAlert.c) receives an empty 'de' and will reject it.
Hope I have not missed something,
Elwin
