lynx-dev Looking for tips on determining where a failure might lie

[Larry W. Virden]

Okay, recently a web site I use with lynx has begun returning 404 errors
while other web browsers do not.

In Lynx Version 2.8.5dev.12), I find I can do this:

1. $ lynx http://webpac.cml.lib.oh.us/
2. Select the refresh URL on the page shown
3. Move down to the step 1 search field and enter the words:
tuck everlasting
4. Move down to Optional format and select
DVD
5. Submit form via "Search" link 
6. select the Reserve link 
7. I get a refresh page with a very long URL, that, when selected, displays
a page to enter library patron information.

With Lynx Version 2.8.5dev.14 however, the link at step 7 is truncated,
resulting in the remote system unable to continue.

I turn on trace at step 7 and see the following.  Is there something else
I can do to provide assistance in tracking down this bug?
