The server detects that the browser is Links (based on user-agent) and
returns an empty page.
To fix this - go to "Setup" -> "Network options" -> "HTTP options" ->
"Header Options" and select the checkbox "Fake Firefox". Then, Links will
send firefox user agent and the server will return a valid page.
