Alex, when I tried to directly access that URL I got this error message:
Error Performing Query
The form you just filled in requires the top entry to be filled in.
Please fill in that entry in the form and resubmit the form.
Then I subscribed to SCMP and could access all news I tried without any
problems. I used lynx2.8.2dev2 and lynx2.8.2dev8. In the front page I found
the news in your example and the URL showed up as
Linkname: Full Story
URL:
http://www.scmp.com/news/template/Asia-Template.idc?artid=19981
204020943038&top=asia&template=Default.htx&maxfieldsize=2419
As you can see, "&top" was replaced by the Lynx you're using with "â¤".
That's why I got the message about the missing top entry. I don't know why
that is happening but I hope someone here does.
