Lynx, auth, dump and kernel 2.4.x

["Doug Baker" <dbaker@mail.wesleyan.edu>]

Hi all. I recently upgraded my debian-woody to kernel 2.4.9. The kernel
compilation went fine and upon reboot all was well, with one glitch. 

To update my dynamic DNS, I use lynx to grab the external IP from a
Linksys BEFSR41 router. This function broke once I upgraded to 2.4.9
(and was working fine under 2.2.19). I also tried 2.4.8 with the same
results. 

The specific problem : my lynx (2.8.4rel.1) command is like this :
Lynx -dump -auth=admin:pswd http://10.10.10.1/Status.htm

This should print the web page to the screen, then I grep for the IP.

But under 2.4.9, (actually, 2.4.8 right now) I get this :
---
lynx -dump -auth=admin:pswd http://10.10.10.1/Status.htm
Looking up 10.10.10.1
10.10.10.1
Making HTTP connection to 10.10.10.1

Making HTTP connection to 10.10.10.1
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.

lynx: Can't access startfile http://10.10.10.1/Status.htm
--

Now the funny thing is that only the "-dump" is what's causing the
problem. When I eliminate that and open the web page interactively
(still passing the auth at the command line) it's fine!

Note that I don't seem to be having any other troubles with networking
or otherwise. 

Any ideas? It's driving me nuts! Thanks!
