Karen Lewellen writes, in reply to the patch I posted,
My hope is that there is something I can influence, as I use Lynx on
a service, not as a part of my own computer.
So I am unsure just where that would go exactly?
What I gave is a change to the source. If the "service" in question
lets you compile software yourself, or copy in software compiled
elsewhere, then you could compile your own version of lynx with that
change - or any others you want.
At least, in principle. I don't know you well enough to know whether
you have the skill (or inclination!) to do that, even if there aren't
technical restrictions in the way.
Jude DaShiell writes that
The REDIRECTION_LIMIT variable is the last line in lynx.cfg.
This indicates that the answer depends on which version of lynx is in
use, because the version I was working with, the version that patch
applied to, had the limit of 10 hardwired into the code, not
user-configurable. That's apparently changed since then, so it depends
on whether you're using a version before or after that change. (It's a
good change; if I'd been more comfortable in the innards of lynx back
in 2018, or if I'd been more ambitious, I would have done something
like that myself value rather than just raising the hardwired limit
from 10 to 25.)
Even if your lynx has that configurability, though, depending on just
what "service" means here, you may or may not be in a position to use
your own lynx.cfg.
