Re: [Lynx-dev] lynx and amazon?

[Karen Lewellen]

Well, I have no access to those other tools, could never get edbrowse to 
work   here at shellworld.
I can say that elinks, produces the same issue though, although I remain 
unsure  if elinks even saves cookies.
My goal here, which you have actually surpassed  by illustrating that the 
audio challenge will not play, was seeing if the cookie error happened 
after content was or was not added to the verification field.
