With a local test file consisting of a 1000 character line,
lynx will put a "newline" in before $COLUMNS characters.
With -source it does not do this.
lynx -source file | wc
1 1 1001
lynx -dump file | wc
14 13 1014
You could do your https get with lynx -source and then parse
out the result with something else.
See below from the archive for why setting terminal modes
fails in cron.
