the problem:
All of the links in my lynx bookmarks file, except Wikipedia links,
function as expected.
The anomalous behavior is:
When I follow a Wikipedia link (en.wikipedia.org, fr.wikipedia.org,
en.wiktionary.org, fr.wiktionary.org) I am, as expected, taken to the
proper site. However, when I return to the bookmarks page and attempt to
connect to those sites a second time, the following transpires: the
status bar at bottom of screen goes through all the motions of
connecting, but does not render the page. Instead I remain at the
bookmarks page. The status line reports: "-more- https://fr.wikipedia.org".
Curious behavior this morning: the link to fr.wiktionary.org does not
exhibit the anomalous behavior. Instead, it performs as expected. I can
visit the site multiple times, perform successive different searches.
All goes well with that one link. I tested this on three separate
installations. Same correct response with all three machines.
I am slowly moving toward the conviction that the problem lies with the
wikipedia servers.
Lynx Version 2.8.9dev.8 (21 Dec 2015)
libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, GNUTLS 3.4.9, ncurses 6.0.20160213(wide)
Built on linux-gnu.
Any the slightest help will be much appreciated.
