lynx-dev BUG: lynx can't view NY times articles |

I can't view articles in the NY times (www.nytimes.com) using Lynx. I have
observed this problem with Lynx 2.7.1 on a Pentium Pro running Redhat 4.2
(kernel 2.2.0) and also on a PowerPC (LinuxPPC R4, kernel 2.2.1) running
Lynx 2.8.1rel.2.
When I try to view a NY times article (e.g.
http://www.nytimes.com/library/tech/99/02/biztech/articles/24soft.html), a
bunch of messages flash quickly by at the bottom of the screen (faster than
I can read) and I end up not going anywhere. No error message is
displayed. (Note that the NY times is a registration-required site. It
uses cookies to keep track of my username and password.) It used to work
in the past, so I don't know what has happened. When I run the command:
lynx -error_file=foo
http://www.nytimes.com/library/tech/99/02/biztech/articles/24soft.html
the result is:
lynx: Start file could not be found or is not text/html or text/plain
Exiting...
'cat foo' returns:
URL=http://www.nytimes.com/library/tech/99/02/biztech/articles/24soft.html
(GET)
STATUS=HTTP/1.0 302 Found
Let me know if there is any other information I can provide.
