[Lynx-dev] Problem with springerlink

[Juan Manuel Barreneche]

Hello I'm a beginner lynx user. I use lynx so I can access to
scientific publications off-campus (by using a PC inside my office via
ssh).

But the site www.springerlink.com does have some sort of problem with
lynx... this is the message that appears:
"Alert!: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbbiden"

It doesn't matter if I try this from my house or from the office, the
result is the same.

I don't have a remote clue of what the reason is for this behavior (with
other sites, like www.jstor.org it works fine), and looking in the mail
archives didn't help me either.

Below I pasted the Lynx.trace file created with the command "lynx -trace
www.springerlink.com" hoping it would help understanding the problem...

If anyone can help me on this I would really appreciate it!!

Sincerely,
Juan Manuel
