elinks reports `Bad HTTP response` in Mac OS

1.2k views Asked by At

I just installed elinks via brew install elinks in my Macbook. When I open http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html in elinks, it reports Bad HTTP response. Then I tried the same web address with elinks in Debian 8, it works fine.

What's wrong with elinks in OSX?

The same problem happened to me. But it seems to work after I reinstalled elinks.

If you already installed the normal version, just do

brew remove elinks

and

brew install --devel elinks

This should fix the problem.

This is apparently a bug in stable elinks version 0.11.

Install development version of elinks (0.12pre6 at the moment), it works fine:

brew install --devel elinks
