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.
