All were allowed, only some were handled early.  Jast as with

Sure does for me.  Are we talking about the same thing?
Using binary from Debian packaged 2.8.3rel.1 to make sure it isn't
anything I have changed, and using -dump to exclude problems from
display library use of stdin, I get

   $ echo "http://lynx.isc.org/"; > /tmp/foo
   $ /usr/src/usr/bin/lynx -dump - < /tmp/foo
   [ correct content is dumped ]
