Not an argument. Netscape doesn't like 303 and that's not a reason for
Lynx not to obey HTTP. There is an RFC about that. Two, in fact. The old
one says that FQDN can't start with a number. The new one does not impose
that restriction. I know there's been talk about that and I know there is
a patch. I don't know if it's fully compliant with RFC. This post is just
FYI type. Although I'm probably wrong at something. As usuall, I know
that RFC exists, but I did not check it.
