Re: [Lynx-dev] about user agent headers

Karen.

Building a lynx.cfg file with the parameters you need is hardly 
programmer territory, and the services you pay for certainly support 
such a setup, so there's zero conflict with the service or the browser, 
but if you're unwilling to help yourself when said help is easily 
obtained, then I doubt anyone can help you solve your problem.  
Sometimes, it's necessary to implement your own solutions.  Commercial 
companies aren't going to do it for you, and since both lynx and your 
two companies provide the avenue to solve the problem, if you're not 
interested in taking the option, then that's fine, but you need to know 
that your continued refusal to craft a solution for yourself certainly 
won't help now or in the future.
