Re: [Lynx-dev] sudden site access failure: realclearpolitics.com

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi Rudy,
Have  you tried this site today?
Granted I am using the Lynx configuration at shellworld, but I just typed 
the  address you provided, and reached the page perfectly.
something to consider about cloudflare is that it tracks sometimes by IP 
address.
Would love to learn how the fanfiction.net site works with your user agent 
though, smiles.
Karen
