If user safety is the priority here, but we otherwise want to minimize our disconnect with the upstream Lynx developer, we might want to consider instead a --must-proxy flag; connections which are not proxied do not succeed. I would propose that this be applied globally; it would inhibit Gopher, FTP, and others as well as http[s]. Comments welcome. I can cook this up if it passes the laugh test.
