This problem suddenly started occuring today. (Does lynx have a Y2K bug?
:-) Maybe I have a lynx virus? :-)
I can longer submit forms (method=GET). Lynx always thinks the forms are
empty and the server usually complains. This is pretty annoying.
For example, if I visit www.altavista.com (I accept all the cookies), when
I submit the form (using 'x', just in case), I land on an empty query.
When I type '=' to find the current URL, it's
http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?
and the 'Submit' on this new blank query page is
http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?text
(which is extremely non-sensical). The 'Submit' on this new blank query page
is completely non-functional -- Lynx does nothing at all.
I tried the older version that came with my Slackware 3.2 i386 Linux
system, version 2.6, and it works fine (though, clearly, it's less
featureful).
I thought it might have been a lost shared library, but I checked.
I tried renaming my .lynxrc out of the way. That wasn't it. I tried
restoring an older lynx.cfg and that wasn't it.
Besides /usr/local/lib/lynx.cfg, does lynx depend upon any other external
files? Especially for submitting forms?
Thanks.
P.S. Sorry if this is an FAQ, but I couldn't [easily] search the mail
archives without being able to 'Submit'!
