Lynx without cookies
After moving from newsbeuter on Linux to newsboat on OpenBSD I ran into lynx asking about cookies every time I opened a item in Lynx.
I decided to kick out all the cookies. This is how you can have Lynx reject all cookies.
Create a file `.lynx.cfg'
Add the following lines in ~/.lynx.cfg:
SET_COOKIES:FALSE
ACCEPT_ALL_COOKIES:FALSE
PERSISTENT_COOKIES:FALSE
Set the variabele LYNC_CFG in your .profile
LYNX_CFG=~/.lynx.cfg; export LYNX_CFG
Reload your .profile by logging out and in.
Now Lynx will automagically reject all cookies.
