lynx-dev Lynx & Cookies

[Carl A. Schreiber]

Hi,

still got the problem that lynx submits a form but Perl doesn't.

It could be that lynx is setting a cookie on the server. (I forbid Lynx to 
accept cookies.) Please look at what I've got from -trace:
What happens at LYCookie?
(This is from right before the request)

HTParse:      result:sms/index.php3
HTParse: aName:`http://subscriber.chello.at/sms/index.php3'
   relatedName:`'
HTParse:      result:subscriber.chello.at
LYCookie: Searching for 'subscriber.chello.at:80', '/sms/index.php3'.
Composing Authorization for subscriber.chello.at:80/sms/index.php3
HTAASetup_lookup: No template matched `sms/index.php3' (so probably not 
protected)
HTTP: Not sending authorization (yet).
Writing:
