Hi,
back to August 2002 when yahoo withdraw the free remote access to
its pop server. The only free access has been then the web and a
contributor to that list gave some tricks to access the yahoo mail
with Lynx without java script support.
It works correctly (some buttons have been lost) with the OS2 flavor
of Lynx.
This account (it came from geocities.com some years ago...) is for me
a good spam collector.
Recently I reshaped a 486 notebook with W95, DSL, ... to navigate on
Internet from my home network. I installed the W32 ssl version of Lynx
lynxw32.lzh at <http://mitglied.lycos.de/mirabilos/pub/>
and now it is impossible to sign in to my yahoo account with this
notebook. After many exchanges with the yahoo mail support (it is
responsive but I think it is a robot with caned answers...) the
yahoo diagnostic is either:
- you must enable javascript in your browser, or
- it's a problem in your browser
even after showing them that I can compose mail messages with Lynx
OS2, from my account to their support.
My diagnostic is that they block the Lynx W32 on the user agent
header: Lynx/2.8.4rel.1-mirabilos libww...
For Lynx OS2 it is: Lynx/2.8.4dev.20 libww...
Is that diagnostic correct and if yes is there any means to fake
the user agent header?
(I had the same problem with the Opera browser but this has been
corrected by yahoo. For the story Opera has a built-in user agent
header fakeing in its preferences: Mozilla, Netscape, Msie.....;)
Thanks in advance for your help.
Had a nice week end.
Regards.
