	'I am running lynx version 2.9.0dev.9 on a ThinkPad x220 under
OpenBSD 7.0 I notice that when accessing the Washington Post web site
https://www/washingtonpost.com lynx responds with:

	'HTTP request sent; waiting for response

'and then takes several seconds to load.'

	In 2018 January I noticed:

	'Beginning 19 January lynx can't browse any subdirectory of
http://www.washingtonpost.com/.  If I try to browse
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/ , for example, lynx switches
automatically to its home page.'

and figured out it turned out to be having 'lynx' in the user-agent
header; 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 lynx'
had been mine for years; I changed the lynx to l_y_n_x and solved that
problem.

	links seems faster.  I started links with:

	links -http.extra-header lynx

which slowed it down.
