[Lynx-dev] Can't open non-English pages in browser

[Yong Huang]

Dear Lynx experts,

When I go to a non-English page, I'm prompted for "Alert!: <charset>" followed
by Download or Cancel. If I download to a local file, I can use a local editor
to read it. But how can I view it right inside the lynx browser window? Here's
the text left on my screen after I pressed Cancel (OS Linux; Lynx Version
2.8.5dev.7):

************ START CUT *************
$ lynx http://google.cn

Looking up google.cn
google.cn
Making HTTP connection to google.cn
Sending HTTP request.
HTTP request sent; waiting for response.

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Alert!: gb2312
'A'lways allowing from domain '.google.cn'.

lynx: Can't access startfile http://google.cn/
************ END CUT *************

How do I let lynx know that my terminal is capable of displaying GB2312
characters? Some sites can be accessed (e.g. http://cnd.org) but going to
certain pages inside the site have the same problem (prompted for "Alert!:
gb2312" and then not going anywhere except for Download or Cancel).

Thank you very much.

Yong Huang
