Hi,
what are you trying to archive? I would not recommend to use lynx for simple browsing if you are not forced to. Nowadays most websites contain graphical information, which can not be displayed on a character only browser...
I guess lynx is presenting you a blank page.
Either invoke lynx with an URL as argument or use the "go" command (press g and then enter the URL).
Try
Hope this helps,
Stefan
Linux detected my modem(finally!) and I then proceeded it to configure it with Minicom according to the instructions here. I got it configured, and can dial up to my ISP, but now I am trying to figure out how to get Lynx to use the connection. Any ideas? (3 Replies)
I've written a program using the bourne shell (I think) #!/bin/bash that goes through a database and for each line does lynx "http://www.example.com/test.cgi?var=variable" The whole point of this was to later move it into the crontab so that once a day it would run this program on a website. Now... (4 Replies)
Hi there!
I one saw a command that allowed to download a file using lynx from an HTTP server without opening lynx itself.
Looked something like this:
$ lynx -xyz http://localhost/foo.bar ~/foo.bar
I looked into lynx manpages and help but didn't find anything.
Thank you in advance (2 Replies)
Is there a particular style that works better than the default for lynx / links / other text-browsers?

urlscan
URLSCAN(1) General Commands Manual URLSCAN(1)NAME
urlscan - browse the URLs in an email message from a terminal
SYNOPSIS
urlscan [options] < message
urlscan [options] message
DESCRIPTION
urlscan accepts a single email message on standard input, then displays a terminal-based list of the URLs in the given message. Selecting
a URL will invoke sensible-browser(1) on it (and hence any browser specified in the BROWSER environment variable).
urlscan is primarily intended to be used with the mutt (1) mailreader, but it should work well with any terminal-based mail program.
urlscan is similar to urlview(1), but has the following additional features:
1. Support for more message encodings, such as quoted-printable and base64.
2. Extraction and display of the context surrounding each URL.
OPTIONS -b, --background
Run the Web browser in the background, so you can select another URL without closing it (this will not work with terminal-based Web
browsers such as lynx, links, or w3m).
-c, --compact
Display a simple list of the extracted URLs, instead of showing the context of each URL.
MUTT INTEGRATION
To integrate urlscan with mutt, include the following two commands in ~/.muttrc:
macro index,pager cb "<pipe-message> urlscan<Enter>" "call urlscan to extract URLs out of a message"
macro attach,compose cb "<pipe-entry> urlscan<Enter>" "call urlscan to extract URLs out of a message"
Once these lines are in your mutt configuration file, pressing Control-b will allow you to browse and open the URLs in the currently
selected message.
