Re: [Lynx-dev] access/download password-protected pages

Hi Travis,

thanks for your answer.

page as a text file.

Alas that won´t work.
In order to apply that command successfully I´d have to able to log into
the page in the first place. After that I could use the "p" command.

That doesn´t work either.

Here´s my command:

lynx -auth=Rosika:'my_password'
"https://itsfoss.community/t/virt-rescue/5178/10";

Despite providing my credentials I won´t get logged in.
Lynx says: "HTTP/1.1 404 not found"
And the site itself says: "Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private."

Greetings.
Rosika
