$ lynx http://www.gender.edu.tw/MESSAGE.ASP
it asks me about a cookie, I say no.
Then I do "\" to see the source. It asks again about a cookie.
Gee, why again?

Hello Dan,
Thank you for your bug report.
I can't reproduce it on lynx 3:4.8.3-10
Can you try with a new version, please?

regards

Yes I have tried with google.
I hit "\" to see source and I hit "\" again to come back to the google main page.
It works fine here, he doesn't ask me again about cookie.
Is it the good way to reproduce it?
regards

# su nobody -c 'HOME=/tmp/k lynx http://www.google.com/' #for pristine environment
Type n when asked, (twice, as there are two cookies.) (N or n same.)
Then type \.
Must type n again (twice) before being allowed to see the source.

Thank you Dan for the informations.
Its not a bug, its a feature.
You should type 'v' (neVer) for that.
