Lynx version: 2.7.2 (SunOS)
When I try to reach this URL by typing it directly:
ftp://x2ftp.oulu.fi:/pub/msdos/programming/specs/dpmispec.arj
Lynx can't recognize it and try to view it on screen. After I interrupted
it in the middle, the screen goes crazy and keeps on sending keystrokes to
Lynx in a cycle (which shouldn't as I hadn't pasted anything at that
time). When I suspended that process and come back, it still caught in
the loop and redrawing like crazy until I kill the process. Surprisingly,
during the rendering stage, I can still press ^Z to suspend the process.
This bring to me one question. Shouldn't Lynx at least ask the user first
before handling an unidentified URL before assuming text/plain? Or do I
have to adjust .Mailcap and .mime.types and lynx.cfg before I can change
Lynx's disastarous default behaviour, _especially on FTP access_?
