Re: [Lynx-dev] Help

[Karen Lewellen]

may i have an example of your goals?
If i understand you,  you want to select an item for download, bypass all 
protections in between, and find that item on your desktop.
speaking  personally,  I can think of many reasons why that extra step as 
it is, is more helpful than a problem.
let's say that  as presented, the file you desire has an actual name of
http://sniffles#7jile8#rivhelhsjieli128r3cr.mp3
What the  extra step lets you do is change that file name to something 
like sniffles.mp3
without all the extra characters and the risk that because the actual file 
name begins with something that may conflict, you end up with the file 
you desire where you desire it, with a name that is easy to locate.
You do not want that option at all?
Personally, its a saving grace for me because many many many times the 
file to download has a name with no relationship to its actual contents.
