elinks reports `Bad HTTP response` in Mac OS

Question

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?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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.
