Subject: LYNX-DEV Sending active link/page URL to print/download ?
From: address@hidden (JOHNLIM)
I was wondering if Lynx has the ability to send the currently active link
and/or currently loaded page URL to a command/file, similar to the way
prints/downloads are handled ?
What I'm trying to do is this - let's say while browsing I want to save
a link on the current page. Rather than 'd'ownloading it and waiting for
it to finish, I usually shell out and use webget (a nifty Perl script)
manually.
I was wondering if Lynx could forward URLs to a program (webget in this
case) so I could stuff it in the background and continue browsing with
Lynx ?
You might want to look into what a proxy can do for you. At the
very least, if you run a caching proxy, the case when what you
want to file is the _current document_ is covered. Any page you
have looked at in the session, probably.
May I have a reference for the webget you use?
You might be a customer for screen.
