This is a misconfiguration of the server. Something (probably mod_security) is blocking the HTTP_USER_AGENT header “Lynx”. I’ve reported the issue to our hoster, and I hope that they’ll fix it ASAP. In the mean time, please override Lynx’s user-agent by adding the flag -useragent=blah at the command line. Instead of “blah”, you can set anything else, as long as it is not “Lynx”. (2009/09/06) Update 2009/09/06: Problem fixed. It was indeed a mod_security misconfiguration.
