This doesn't work. lynx expects the parameters to be given to it via
stdin and ending with a "--". So, say:

$ cat > query.post
q=india
--
^D

$ lynx -post_data http://new.google.com/news < query.post

returns:


   Google  
            Error

                                Not Implemented

     The server is unable to process your request.

But:

$ lynx -dump http://news.google.com/news?q=india

returns:


  [1]Go to Google News Home 
                         News BETA
   [2]Preferences    [3]Search Tips

    ...

    Searched news for india.


Etc.

Is this what you mean?
