lynx-dev lynx 2.8.2 on solaris via proxy - problem

[Hodorov, Steven V (Steve), CSCIO]

Hello,

I'm writing to inform you of a problem I discovered using lynx behind a
proxy server.

After I defined our proxy in the cfg file and ran lynx, the proxy server
complained that lynx was using a non-compliant request structure. Instead of
asking the proxy for HTTP://www.XYZ.com <HTTP://www.XYZ.com>  it asks for
file:/www.XYZ.com.

we are using the netscape proxy server. But other proxy servers I know off
all require a valid URL not file:/ ...

Another (minor) issue: on unix all environment variables are defined
UPPERCASE (by convention) lynx expects lower case only env vars.

Thanks
