LYNX-DEV Little problem - missing (?) feature

[Uwe Koch]

Hi everyone!

This only matters for non-html files where a helper application is specified,
e.g. images. Let's assume we have a link <a href=".../pic.gif"> foo </a>.
When activated, this picture will be diplayed with the helper application.
So far that's fine. Unfortunately the server sends an unreasonable
Expires: Header. Therefore only an old version from the proxy's cache 
will be downloaded. With an 'ordinary' html-file I can just hit ^R to reload
with bypassing the cache. This doesn't work with such a picture. 
At least I didn't find an appropriate key with 'K'. 

That reminds me of another 'luxury feature' am dreaming about : a toggle to 
switch the proxies on and off during a lynx-session...

Thanks for the good work on lynx!
