==== Unable to Access Google using Lynx ====

**Symptom:** Attempts to access www.google.com using Lynx result in the error, "Google Error Bad Request" or "400 Bad
Request".

**Cause:** Some Linux distributions ship with a large /etc/mailcap or ~/.mailcap file that Lynx is using to send a huge Accept: header and google doesn't like it. 

**Fix:** In /etc/lynx.cfg, edit 
<code>"GLOBAL_MAILCAP:/etc/mailcap" to "GLOBAL_MAILCAP:/dev/null" 
or 
"PERSONAL_MAILCAP:~/.mailcap" to "PERSONAL_MAILCAP:/dev/null"
</code>
 as appropriate (depending on which mailcap file is causing the grief).
