Greetings,

I added "ENABLE_LYNXRC:PREFERRED_ENCODING:ON" to ~/lynx.cfg and
"preferred_encoding=gzip" to my ~/.lynxrc

When i run "lynx -cfg=~/lynx.cfg" i still get garbage output from
https://lynx.invisible-island.net/

From the Options menu:

    Preferred encoding               : [gzip____]

From the `=` screen:

    Content-Encoding: br

The workaround doesn't appear to work for me.  Any other ideas
besides recompiling lynx with brotli support?

Thanks!
