Re: lynx-dev beginner's firewall problem

[Allan Tejano]

I got the same problem with Mr. Senqiang.
So how exactly should we run lynx in the command line if we don't configure
or edit the lynx.cfg?
That is if we use proxy.

How exactly did you configure the proxy?
Do any other programs work through the proxy?  If yes, how did
you specify the proxy for them?

Note that trailing slash is necessary for lynx, as shown in the
examples in lynx.cfg.
