The Lynx help page [1] contains a broken hyperlink "about lynx.cfg" [2].
This can easily be fixed on the server side;
in the future, do not include metadata in URL paths for crucial resources.
Also, trying to download the recent release.bz2
results in the contents of the release being dumped onto the terminal.
Not nice.
Please fix,
well, first I have to see what you're referring to. The original
source (which is the subject of this mailing list) doesn't contain
file://localhost/usr/share/doc/packages/lynx/lynx_help/lynx-dev.html
file:///usr/share/doc/packages/lynx/lynx_help/lynx_help_main.html
easily checked by looking for "packages" in the html files.
You may be referring to a given package (Linux or *BSD).
However, you may be specifically referring to the part of the url that
has the version number (because that corresponds to a directory name).
I suppose if you're attempting to review old configuration details, it
can be a nuisance trying to use the "release" url. I added a symbolic
link to smooth that out.
The issue with ".bz2" also depends on whether support for
bzip2 is compiled in, or configured with an external program - or neither.
For instance, it works "here".
