Re: [Lynx-dev] Getting the "Forbidden" error message

[Karen Lewellen]

Larry,
There is a very good reason why you cannot save those options.
Most websites require the header information, or they will think you are a 
hacker.
A far more , at least in my view, solution is to get the site creators 
blocking the browser to make corrections.
I do not personally feel they are blocking it in on purpose, just blocking 
what they think is a blanket threat.
Hope thatmakes sense,
