I did a quick tcpdump, and it appears that lynx was able to send the request back (so not appearing to be lynx's problem), but plt-web-server just send back acks without content.  After the first ack, it paused for about 30 seconds before sending back another ack (unlike GET). All of the "GET" works with lynx - unfortunately I don't know any wild urls that uses ";"... Any thoughts? yc <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 5:15 PM, Jay McCarthy <<a href="mailto:jay.mccarthy@gmail.com">jay.mccarthy@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Can you do a tcpdump or connection sniffing to see what it does? Can you try to go to a page that uses ";" in the URL? I know that I've used lynx before with the web-server, so I can't imagine what the problem would be, but that would be a place to start.
