Hi,
I found lynx (2.7.x, 2.8.0 and 2.8.1) sending incomplete HTTP requests.
For example retreiving the URL http://lynx.browser.org/ with lynx
(_not_using_any_proxy_) results in an error message (Bad Request). I
tracked it down and found lynx forming a request beginning with
GET HTTP/1.0
Host: lynx.browser.org
which seems to be incorrect, because of the empty URI/path after GET.
A proxy usually inserts the missing "/" here, so the problem only shows
up in direct lynx/httpd communication. I tried this on several http
server software including Apache-1.3.6 and MS-IIS 4, to verify that not
a specific server version is picky about empty URIs.
