LYNX-DEV [SysReq #3509] [Staff #68091] Some pages lynx can't load

[Carl Buxbaum]

Anyone know what's going on here?

This is failing with a 

406 None Acceptable

message with lynx version 2-7-1

Here's the page that I reach:

   Variant 1
   MIME Type: text/html
   Character set: unknown
   Language: unknown
   Encoding: none

and the information for that page:

Lynx Version 2.7.1

File that you are currently viewing

   Linkname: None Acceptable
        URL: http://www.culligandealer.com/
    Charset: iso-8859-1 (assumed)
     Server: Oracle_Web_listener2.1/1.20in2
       Date: Fri, 26 Sep 1997 21:52:07 GMT
   Owner(s): None
       size: 5 lines
       mode: normal

Link that you currently have selected

   Linkname: Variant 1
        URL: http://www.culligandealer.com/index.html

We are running this on Irix 5.3, and it works ok with version 2-4.
