I've already told that I have to get lynx to send referer for the url that
includes content from form submissions with method GET. In other words, there
is a 2-step CGI script - when one visits it, it spews a form with method set
to GET (not POST as was in your case) - and when one submits that form, lynx
doesn't send http_referer along with it (as specified in the documentation
for NO_REFERER_HEADER).
Of course I tried setting the following explicitly in lynx.cfg:
NO_REFERER_HEADER:FALSE
REFERER_WITH_QUERY:SEND
