Lynx: accept cookies always

From time to time I need to use lynx (or any other text based browser like links), for some reason my fingers usually type lynx, but having to accept cookies every time a new domain tries to send it to me it's annoying, so here is how you configure it to always accept them.

Add this to your ~/.bashrc file:

LYNX_CFG=~/.lynx.cfg
export LYNX_CFG

Then in ~/.lynx.cfg:

INCLUDE:/etc/lynx-cur/lynx.cfg
FORCE_SSL_COOKIES_SECURE:TRUE
SET_COOKIES:TRUE
ACCEPT_ALL_COOKIES:TRUE

And voila!
