Tested on:
==========
Lynx 2.7.2 (Solaris 2.5)
When I go to this place:
ftp://ftp.numega.com/Anonymous/updates
Lynx generates the following screen:
Current directory is /Anonymous/updates
Up to Anonymous
* text/plain 4PM <DIR> BoundsChecker301
* text/plain 4PM <DIR> BoundsChecker302
* text/plain 5PM <DIR> BoundsChecker42
* text/plain 5PM <DIR> BoundsChecker501
* text/plain 6PM <DIR> BoundsChecker502
* text/plain 6PM <DIR> DPS
* text/plain 7PM <DIR> sint105
* text/plain 8PM <DIR> SoftICE301
* text/plain 9PM <DIR> SoftICE322sp
When I try to go to the bottom link, it does not work. Then I press '='
to see the URI info:
URL: ftp://ftp.numega.com/Anonymous/updates
Charset: iso-8859-1 (assumed)
Server: weaver Microsoft FTP Service (Version 4.0).
Owner(s): None
size: 13 lines
mode: normal
Link that you currently have selected
Linkname: 9PM <DIR> SoftICE322sp
URL:
ftp://ftp.numega.com/Anonymous/updates/9PM%20%20%20%20%20%20%20
%3CDIR%3E%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20SoftICE322sp
It turns out that Lynx generates wrong URIs for the links. The URI for
the bottom linke should be
'ftp://ftp.numega.com/Anonymous/updates/SoftICE322sp', not the 2-line junk
that Lynx created. My FTP session have proven this:
ftp> dir
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.

I haven't check if Netscape still give me the same problem yet, but I
think it is highly unlikely. Anyway, it should be fixed.
