Re: lynx-dev Can not access remote host

[Olaf Jörk]

Helo,
Thanks for yout first hints. Here's the 2nd try with more
information.

I've got a problem with the compiled Lynx Version 2.8rel.2 (1998).
I used: gcc with -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  \
          -DSVR4_BSDSELECT -O2 -DSVR4 \
          -DXMOSAIC_HACK -DACCESS_AUTH ...

configure said:
checking if you want to fork NSL requests... no

I compiled lynx twice, with -DSVR4_BSDSELECT and without. Same result.

It will not access pages on remote servers. The machine is running
a svr4, exactly SINIX-L 5.41 D0005 MX300-Intel (386)
The described problem with SunOS etc. was pointless. The DNS address
resolution is ok. The WWW-Server (Apache) do not log the connection.

I included a report of: lynx -trace

There are two entries in /etc/services:

http 80/tcp
http 80/udp

The WWW-Server is www1.lag.justiz.sachsen.de.
The client is within the same domain.

That means, the socket isn't completely established, because it is
in non-blocking mode. A subsequent select(3N) will do the rest, if
it is used to write data.
