Re: [Lynx-dev] HTTP1.1/ 204 NoContent Error

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi,
I just checked myself.
by the way, have you tried the mail amazon site?
I personally find the access one too watered down for use.  although last 
December into jan, I spent a dreadful amount of time trying to get things 
fixed since I could log in, but part of the payment structure changed.
When I checked just now, the site is pretending that lynx has no cookie 
ability.
I just ignore the caps lock message if it shows, thinking it is how the 
system reads normal text or something.
I removed an amazon cookie from my .lynx_cookies file recently.
In fact that gives me a chance to ask something.  I have a ton of of them from 
amazon for example.  I use lynx daily for  most everything, so this file is 
large, and sometimes a cookie can no longer be read because of the stuff 
on top.
If I am doing cookie jar cleaning smiles. how are these added, meaning are these 
amazon  cookies  at the top the most current, or the ones further down?
The no content error indeed shows if you try going to the access page, at 
all.  if you try to sign in at the main page I just pretends for me that 
cookies are not turned on...after allowing a cookie I might add.
Will dig out my phone number for them and call too.
