Re: Links browser, was lynx - not all sites readable

Show all headers | View raw

Hi Dutch,

Something told me to try my example again  before I shared it, try this in 
links.

www.healingwiththemasters.com
I just tried and got the 403 forbidden error.
As for Walmart.com allowing the links browser, I am afraid that matters 
not as   I am in Canada and my reference is to the Canadian site.
My speech  states that the issue is a cookies one,  providing the offer of 
viewing the flyer without cookies.
I will check your resource for the user agent question.
Thanks,
Karen
