RE: lynx and squid
Look in /usr/local/lib/lynx.cfg for configuration for lynx (thats
slackware's location.... do a `locate lynx.cfg`)
Find lines like
#http_proxy:http://some.server.dom:port/
#https_proxy:http://some.server.dom:port/
#ftp_proxy:http://some.server.dom:port/
and change them to
http_proxy:http://myproxy.foo:3128/
https_proxy:http://myproxy.foo:3128/
ftp_proxy:http://myproxy.foo:3128/
If your proxy requires authentication then I'm *guessing* it'll need to be
something like this
http_proxy:http:/username:passwd/myproxy.foo:3128/
https_proxy:http:/username:passwd/myproxy.foo:3128/
ftp_proxy:http:/username:passwd/myproxy.foo:3128/
This may sound bad putting your password into a plain text world readable
file - it should, it is. However if you're the only user on the box then
it'll make all users use that proxy on your password. And if you're on a
multi-user box then copy lynx.cfg to ~/.lynxcfg and it is now your own
personal config file.
Remember - lynx is good - lynx can do most anything that doesn't require
graphics (shockflashwave etc)
For the list - how w3c compliant is lynx ?

Subject: lynx and squid
I've looked in the archives and the documentation for lynx. I was
wondering if lynx can be set up to use squid on my firewall? I see
there is a way to set up lynx in /etc/lynx.cfg to use an isp's proxy but
I haven't been able to get lynx to work with mine. I have also tried to
sign in on my firewall with 'lynx -pauth=fkent:<passwd>' but that
results in --
Warning, unable to connect to remote host.
If lynx can't be used with squid then is there a text browser out there
that will?
Thanks,
kent
