[Lynx-dev] Google via lynx error fixed (for me, at least)

[Aaron Bloomfield]

Hi, all,

   I was running into the this problem (a "malformed or illegal 
request" whenever I tried to access Google) via lynx, and I manged to 
solve it by unseting my DISPLAY variable.  I tried this in both bash and 
tcsh, and it seemed to fix the problem.  Does this work for other people?

   I would have responded to the thread, but I just subscribed to send 
this out, and thus can't hit reply to the previous e-mails.... :-)

   I figured this out because I was doing a lynx dump of Google from an 
xterm, and the same from an ssh shell on another xterm (the latter which 
didn't have the DISPLAY variable set)....

-Aaron
