lynx-dev http referer problem

[Esa Pikkarainen]

Hi Lynx folks,
I am making a dynamic WWW serice and I try to make it browser 
independet - in practice is should be accessible also from Lynx.
But I found a strange problem: Lynx (Lynx/2.8.2rel.1 libwww-FM/2.14) 
does not send the referer header if that referer address would 
containd a query string. Is this a bug or by desing?
Should I stop relying on referer headers or wait that future Lynxes 
will send them een with query strings?
(I mean URLs like http://www.com/index.ihtml?step=true)

thanks
