Subject: |
lynx-ssl: Alert! HTTP 1.0 400 bad request; Not with other browsers |
|
Date: |
13 Oct 2001 02:24:34 +0200 |
Package: lynx-ssl
Version: 2.8.4.2-1
Does the following a lynx bug or is there a way to get lynx behave like
other browsers?
Reproducing the problem:
1. Go to http://www.ebay.com
2. In the search box have something reasonable, say tv.
3. Hit Find It.
4. You should get a list of suggested items.
5. Randomly choose one of the items.
Now try following the link marked as `view seller's other auctions'.
This results in an error screen. Prior to the error screen there is
an error message at the status line at the bottom of the screen, saying
Alert! HTTP 1.0 400 bad request.
Now for the feature request or bug, I do not know which.
eBay support claims that Netscape and MS-IE, perhaps with the help of
a menu option can work this out and turn HTTP 1.1 protocol off. I am
not sure I got it right and I am also not sure if this is not a strict
violation of some standard. However, can lynx be configured to allow me
to view this link? There are other occurrences of this problem on eBay site.

It could be a Lynx bug, certainly. Whether or not one should
dub some behaviour in a brower's interaction with html a bug is
too complicated a subject for me but following one of the links
you referred to in "Links" (another text based browser with
this very silly name) worked ok. so at least you could say that
Lynx is less fault tolerant than "Links" in this instance.

Lynx either inserts or does not strip a space between the
"&userid=" and the actual identity in the referring url so in
Lynx for instance such a url may look like this:
http://cgi2.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid= gypsyseller
Note the space between the '=' and 'gypsyseller'.
You can remedy the situation by hitting 'E' while staying on
the link to edit it and then remove the space.
I'll send your message to lynx-dev to see if anyone has any
comments.
Regards,
Morten
