External Programs

Description

These settings control the ability of Lynx to invoke various programs for the user. Any of the compiled-in pathnames of external programs can be overridden by specifying the corresponding xxx_PATH variable. If the variable is given as an empty string, lynx will not use the program. For a few cases, there are internal functions (such as mkdir) which can be used instead.

Internal Behavior

Description

These settings control internal lynx behavior - the way it interacts with the operating system and Internet. Modifying these settings will not change the rendition of documents that you browse with lynx, but can change various delays and resource utilization. Some ftp servers are known to have a broken implementation of RETR. If asked to retrieve a directory, they get confused and fails subsequent commands such as CWD and LIST. Workaround: reconnect after a failed RETR, which is slow. Each BROKEN_FTP_RETR gives a string match for the reported FTP server version BROKEN_FTP_RETR:ProFTPD 1.2.5 BROKEN_FTP_RETR:spftp/
