400 Bad Request accessing google with lynx

The text based browser lynx can be really useful

I received an error with lynx on a Debian etch installation when I tried to access www.google.com. I couldn’t possibly understand why. It worked some days earlier and I hadn’t done any major changes to my system.

In my case the solution was to reset the DISPLAY environment variable.
Try starting lynx with

$lynx -display=

If this solves your problem you might want to create an alias in your ~/.bashrc file:

alias lynx=’lynx -display=’
