Hi,
lynx only supports the old 301/302 redirection codes,
not the new 307/308 ones whose semantics are more useful;
unsure (I’ve not tested it) whether 303 is supported right.
301/302 may change the request method from POST to GET
(IIRC lynx asks interactively which is good), whereas
308/307 (in this order) are the same but require the client
to resend exactly the same request to the redirection target.
There’s more explanation and a short summary of the other
codes in both answers (together) of
<https://stackoverflow.com/q/42136829/2171120> for reference.
Please add support for 307/308 to the next lynx (basically
same as the existing redirect sans the interactive question).
Thanks in advance,
