Fwd: [Lynx-dev] Would Lynx try to download iFrames, External Javascript etc

[Rashmi Rubdi]

Thank you both for confirming.

The -trace option would be helpful. I've never tried it but tomorrow,
I will take a look at the output it gives.

-Regards

no - it'll only do one fetch for the case you're describing:

You can also see what lynx is doing using its "-trace" option.
There's a lot of detail, but the GET and the replies show up.
