* Eliminated forced exits for keyboard input buffer overruns on VMS.
There's no perfect way to deal with it, but Lynx should recover
gracefully most of the time now, and do nothing bad if ungraceful. - FM
* Added handling of Content-Base and Content-Location MIME headers when
'd'ownloading, 'p'rinting, or mailing HTML source. For this, as
for rendered HTML streams (see 01-06-97 mods) the base is determined
according to HTTP/1.1 rules: If a Content-Base header was received,
that's the base. Otherwise, if a Content-Location header was received
and it's an absolute URL, that's the base. Otherwise, the URL used
to retrieve the document is the base. When actually rendering, any
BASE tag in the document overrides the base derived from headers.
When 'd'ownloading, or outputting HTML source for a 'p'rint option,
an X-URL comment with the URL used to retrieve the document and a
BASE tag with the header or URL-derived base are inserted at the top
of the document. These should be moved down into the actual HEAD
section to make the HTML fully legal, but will work as is if the
output is used in conjunction with automatic invocation of Lynx or
Netscape as a text/html helper application. When mailing with an
SMTP-conformant mailer, the actual URL used to retrieve the document
is indicated via an X-URL header, and for HTML source, a Content-Base
and a Content-Location header are included, set to what was actually
received by Lynx via MIME headers, or to the retrieval URL. - FM
