RE: Can't find how to fetch from the web


btw, is there a known problem with lynx that causes it to die when the url is too long?
I don't have an example right now but I've noticed several times, and it appears to be
with long urls, that lynx dies for no obvious reason. I use something like lynx -dump -width 1200 url. I don't think this normally violates the command line length constraint which I thought was 
many k. Is there a server response that can provoke an abnormal termination ( want to say
seg fault or access violation but can't remember)? 

Thanks.
