[Lynx-dev] Lynx connect_timeout issue

[Royi Porat]

Dear Lynx developers,

I'm using lynx v2.8.7  rel.1 in my shell script running on cygwin under windows 7 64bit.

my script basiclly runs in a loop on various URLs with lynx -dump option (to parse the text only).

the problem is that somethimes when lynx freezes or getting hanged, the connect_timeout does not seem to be enforced :-/

Is that a known issue?

am I doing anything wrong?

here's the lynx command from my script:

lynx  -display_charset:iso-8859-8 -connect_timeout=5 -useragent=$UA -dump $URL > $CITY_OUT

Thanks a lot!
