Re: [Lynx-dev] Help

Downloading to a temporary file is how lynx has always done downloads.  I 
don't know if there's a way to bypass that or not, but if that's truly 
what you want, why not use wget or curl? That's exactly what they were 
made for.  You can even add them to the lynx.cfg file as support programs 
(I forget what lynx calls them), but it's used for things like playing 
music and decoding images and such.  Just add wget or curl to the 
configuration with proper naming parameters, and you're all set.  Then 
there would be no temporary files to deal with.
Note: I've not tried this, so your mileage may vary.
It's possible lynx will still make a temporary file before passing the 
file to the wget program, so you may still be out of luck in that regard.
