LYNX-DEV Hex escaping & and company

[Duncan Hill]

After scrabbling around, I finally found how to turn & into %26 :)
Interestingly enough, none of the search engines found any references to
that in the archives.  Anyway, is there any reason for a server not to
accept %26 in place of an &?  I can't type the & at the prompt, because
that'll background the process, without finishing the search URL.

The URL in question is:
http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/sat-bin/display?phot=yes&dir=meteosat/tropics_vapor

I can escape the /, and the ='s, but not the &.  Any clues?
