 Of course I can, but later today.
 As for critical section that is parsing the referer header - it's trivial
(in bash):

        $HTTP_REFERER

 :)

 (since content of the http-referer header is passed in the environment
variable "HTTP_REFERER" to CGI script).

 It's impossible for that sample script to be broken. It's lynx's intended
behaviour.
