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

[Karen Lewellen]

Oh I can top that one.
I use the main amazon.com site, not the access one.  so I first visited to 
see if things were the same, not recognizing my cookie etc.
then I tried Gordon's suggestion, unchecked the box, and my information 
returned to normal.  as in hello  Karen Lewellen etc.  Likewise the 
no content error disappeared.
But that is not all.
There are  more and more places where I meet with the 403 forbidden error 
one of them is here.
www.33daypath.com
if you go there with lynx minus the suggested change you will get the 
forbidden error.
For kicks I tried  going with the change, and the page displayed 
perfectly!
Agreed it does return to default  once you leave the browser  because it 
cannot be  saved.  But I have a ton of places  that I cannot visit which I 
will  be testing again to learn if this plays a role.
