If you are using lynx for a browser, mangled GET arguments are not surprising at all.

links, not lynx. I know that lynx doesn't work. Perhaps links should then
be added to the FAQ too.


As noted in FAQ question #C-1, it has been my experience that long GET strings
appended to the URL will sometimes be malformed.  I will confess, that I don't know
 whether ACID is not encoding the data per spec and Mozilla/IE are just forgiving, 
or this is a genuine bug in lynx.

This is interesting. The behaviour I described only happens when using
links as the browser (and it still happens today, with the CVS version). 
Using Mozilla, for example, or Netscape, it works as expected.

Bad GET arguments in a the hyperlink, I believe.  Patched and
commited.  Let me know if this was the only instance of
this issue.
