Yes, that's exactly why I tested it using NoScript because it should
be the same as using Lynx and friends.

However, there's another problem.

I don't have Lynx installed on the machine I am currently using, but
I do have Links installed, which is also a text mode browser. With
the command line:

        links www.gnoga.com

I get the following:

       ╔═════════════════════════ Unknown type

       ║  What would you like to do with the file '' (type:
       ║  application/octet-stream)?

       ║  Program ('%' will be replaced by the filename)


       ║  [ ] Block the terminal

       ║  [ Open ]  [ Save ]  [ Display ]  [ Show header ]  [ Cancel ]
 
As you are serving the page as application/octet-stream, Links clearly
thinks I am trying to download a file, and sure enough, if I select Open
then the raw HTML for the page is displayed instead of the HTML output.

Simon.
