I was able to replicate this but I could not sign in to post anything. The mono direction of the data would suggest no issues to worry about.

Where you able to post anything though Elink?

Thanks for confirming. I did not try logging in with Elinks, so I also did not post to Saidit with that browser. But I was surprised that Cloudflare allowed this old browser to actually see some content on their guarded website.

This test shows that it is possible to bypass Cloudflare's security check without any Javascript running. Elinks does not consistently circumvent Cloudflare, so I'm not sure if this has any practical use.
