LYNX-DEV 301,302 versus 303 POST redirection

[Foteos Macrides]

        If people what to try out the POST redirection handling in the
new Composite, use METHOD=POST ACTION="http://www.wfbr.edu/htbin/redirect";
in your test FORMs.  That redirects to an echo script which accepts both
POST and GET requests.  Try your FORMs in novice versus intermediate or
advanced user mode, since the confirmation function varies in how much
information it gives you based on that, and in how it prompts.

        Note that the new HTTP.c doesn't have anything in it that affects
the SSL patch, but it may have been changed enough such that the patch
utility may not find the sections being sought for the SSL patch despite
the context. If you do a diff of the Composite HTTP.c versus the vanilla
v2.6 HTTP.c, you can then hand edit the new stuff into your SSLized HTTP.c.
