[Lynx-dev] Refreshing lynx; fetching content

[russellbell]

        I sometimes change lynx.cfg, .lynxrc, .lynx_cookies (etc.).
To get lynx to read them I have to quit then start again.  I'd use a
keystroke that made lynx re-load configuration files.

        I often fetch web content automated-ly.  I usually use snarf.
snarf won't fetch https and won't make it through some chains of
references so I use lynx instead.  I use this script:

if [ $1 ]
then
    Target=`echo $1 | rev | cut -d/ -f1 | rev`
    if [ $Target ]
    then
        lynx -source -force_secure $1 > $Target
    else
        echo no Target
    fi
else
    echo Specify a URI to lynxfetch
fi

        I think a -fetch switch which did this would be useful.  How
often do you use -dump or -source and let it go to stdout?  (I do
occasionally.)

        These aren't big deals.  If you-all don't want them, I'll be
happy without them.
