Hello,
I'm using Lynx version 2.8.6rel.4 on a GNU/Linux system and an apache 1.3
server.
Currently I'm writing a CGI program, which I tried to test with Lynx.
Lynx showed a very surprising behaviour, which I think is a bug.
My CGI program uses the POST method to transfer data. When there is no
data, ie. it is called from a normal link, the startpage should appear.
This works as expected, when I use a link from outside of the CGI
program.
Then I wanted to put links to the startpage into the generated pages, like
this: printf ("<p><a href='%s'>Start</a></p>", getenv ("SCRIPT_NAME"));
This works fine with other browsers, but not with Lynx.
The generated page was called with POST-data. The link was supposed to
be called with no data at all.
But Lynx sends the same POST-data again!?
Workaround: give it some GET-data:
printf ("<p><a href='%s?a=start'>Start</a></p>", getenv ("SCRIPT_NAME"));
P.S.: I'm not subscribed to this list.
