Re: [Lynx-dev] Getting the "Forbidden" error message

[Jude DaShiell]

I haven't checked that really current version out yet but was using 
development versions of lynx that kept getting me access denied and this 
was with the correct credentials.  Later I found in my gmail when I was 
able to access it with another browser that the attempt had been blocked 
by google since the program used to attempt the access didn't have enough 
modern security equipment in it for google to allow a connection unless or 
until I lowered security to use legacy software.  Don't you just love 
calling lynx-dev legacy software even though it still has active support?
