Re: getting BARD 2.0 to work with lynx on Linux

Most interesting Rudy.
I wonder if there is an options menu  choice for this?
Personally, very personally, I am profoundly disturbs by the patron double standard. Bard users get to keep library books indefinitely. Those who prefer, or require physical cartridges must return that same content..for a publicly funded library.
How is that equal?

After testing the new BARD 2.0 interface on my Linux system (slint v 15.0)  using lynx, I
had a few bad hours when access was denied with a cookie error message.

I finally got BARD 2.0 interface to work with lynx, but had
to change the cookie version to do so.


To save others future anguish, here's what I did.

1. cp /etc/lynx.cfg to ~/.config/lynx.cfg
2. vi ~/.config/lynx.cfg
 copy the line:
#COOKIE_VERSION:RFC-6265
and edit it to:
COOKIE_VERSION:RFC-2965
3. In a script file you can name bard or whatever suits your fancy, call lynx as follows:
lynx -cfg=~/.config/lynx.cfg  https://nlsbard.loc.gov

At some point BARD might fix their cookies to work with the default cookie version. Then again, they might not.
