Yes, i have tested curl and wget, but i don't get the source-code of the page because there are some problems with javascript. I've got the following source code:

Code:
 <html>
 <head>
 <script language='javascript'>function autoNavigate() {window.location="data.html";}</script>
 </head>
 <body onload='autoNavigate()'></body>
 </html>

This is the same url as i loaded before. The javascript code reload the same page. But if i load the url with curl or wget a second time, i get a 302 Error.

The same problems by using "lynx" and "w3m". Only "links" and "elinks" shows the content of the page correctly. Thats why i'm looking for a possibility to control the text-browser from a script.

Thanks
