Lynx is a text browser for the World Wide Web.
As such, it will not be able to view javascript as Netscape and Explorer do. You might want to check out
Mozilla if you are not wanting to use Netscape or Explorer.

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)

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.
