404 error, but I presume that you don't really mean something at
server.com, you're just using it in a bad example. Server.com actually
exists. Use example.com for examples, it's set up for that purpose. We
can't tell what your problem is from that faked address.
Try: lynx --head http://example.com
(substituting the real address), and tell us what you get back. I
suspect that the script doesn't present the right MIME types, or perhaps
does so inconsistently.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
