LYNX-DEV v2.7 pre-release update |

Yet another update of the v2.7 pre-release is available in:
http://www.slcc.edu/lynx/fote/
02-09-97
* Enhanced the Set-Cookie header parser to handle values that contain
spaces but were not enclosed in double-quotes, and to use such
quoting or not when sending Cookie headers, depending on whether
this was done in the Set-Cookie header. Also added anti-crash
checks should the parser's efforts to handle both historical (a.k.a.
original Netscape) cookies and Version 1 cookies go awry (does deal
successfully now with all the cookies which had been reported as
problematic). - FM
* Mods of the screen handling in LYNews.c for cleaning up any screen
trash created by the external editor. - FM
* Tracked down an uninitialized pointer in LYNews.c that probably was
behind reports of crashes when posting to newsgroups. - FM
* Plugged a memory leak in LYMainLoop.c. - TJC
* Added posting ability to the news gateway, in lieu of the previous,
variably reliable, use of a spawned news client for posting. The
news, nntp, and snews URLs now all return links for posting new
messages or followups (replies) to the server from which a newsgroup
listing or news article was retrieved, unless the server indicates
that it does not accept posts from the site at which Lynx is running.
See the updated INSTALLATION, userdefs.h, and lynx.cfg files, the
"USENET News posting" section of the Users Guide, and "Supported URLs"
page of the online 'h'elp for more information.
* Fixed typo for e-dieresis in the KOI8-R charset. - AJF
* Replaced an inappropriate _user_message() call in HTConfirmCookie()
of HTAlert.c with a _statusline() call. The original code could
cause crashes with some cookie values. - FM
