lynx-dev Bug report regarding lynx version 2.8.4dev.19 and http://www.lycos.com/

[Larry W. Virden]

As promised, here's my bug report regarding what I am seeing at lycos.

Platform: SPARC Sun Solaris 2.6, Sun C compiler version 5.1
Configured as:
export LIBS=" -L/usr/tcl83/lib -L/vol/lwv26ldatae/lib -R/projects/intranet/lib:/
usr/tcl83/lib:/vol/lwv26ldatae/lib -lz -L/projects/gnu/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/lib 
-R/projects/gnu/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/lib -lncurses "
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/tcl83/include -I/vol/lwv26ldatae/include -I/projects/gnu
/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/include"
export CFLAGS="-g -Xc"
export CC=cc
export TN3270="gettso 2"

  $PWD/configure  --prefix=/projects/intranet \
        --libdir=/projects/intranet/lib/lynx \
        --includedir=/projects/gnu/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/include \
        --with-screen=ncurses \
        --with-included-gettext \

        --enable-source-cache \
        --enable-justify-elts \
        --enable-file-upload \

I type:

$ lynx -trace http://www.lycos.com/

from the command line and after some white space get this prompt from lynx:



text/vnd.wap.wml  D)ownload, or C)ancel

When I select Cancel, I get:

lynx: Can't access startfile http://www.lycos.com/

The trace file is over 3000 lines long, so I won't include the entire thing
here.

Here's what a portion of the log:
