That is interesting.
When I first tried to walk through these steps, I had no issue with lynx at all. I did notice that the indicated government privacy policy was not provided. So, I used the DOS build of Links the chain, which is actually on my desktop. Good thing too, all of said privacy policy appeared, allowing me to agree and finish. granted Its not a service I can actually use, but I am required to keep the thing active as part of the overseas part of my nls qualification.. never mind the double standard.

There is, but it isn't saved to disk and I didn't want to change it every time I visit bard.

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.
