Re: LYNX-DEV Accessing "upgraded" URLs

[Al Gilman]

  From: "Joseph A. Nigota" <address@hidden>

  I have been using Lynx to reach various sites for some time. I am very 
  grateful for the service.  Recently, two British newspapers have upgraded 
  their sites so that they can only be reached on Windows via Netscape 
  Navigator or Microsoft Explorer.  They are the Times (URL: 
  www.the-times.co.uk) & the London Evening Standard (URL:www.standard.co.uk).
  When I tried reaching them via lynx 2-3BETA, I suddenly got a notice that 
  my current browser was not capable of accessing them.  Our computer 
  center installed lynx 2-7-1 on the main frame, but when I tried to access 
  the two sites using it, I still got the "incapable browser" notice after 
  logging in. 
  Is there any way to access a Navigator or Explorer site via Lynx?  Thanks 
  for your help.
  
The "incapable browser" message is erroneous.

Modern Lynx makes the FRAMEs accessible one by one.
