(If it's in the "options" menu, that can be changed using the ENABLE_LYNXRC feature). > So how do you make lynx display gziped files? Actually you tell lynx to tell the server that it can display gzip'd files. Then (if the server cooperates), it'll deliver gzip'd files, and lynx will display them. .h2 PREFERRED_ENCODING # When doing a GET, lynx tells what types of compressed data it can decompress # (the "Accept-Encoding:" string). This is determined by compiled-in support # for decompression or external decompression programs. # # Values for this option are keywords: # NONE Do not request compressed data # GZIP For gzip # COMPRESS For compress # BZIP2 For bzip2 # ALL All of the above. #PREFERRED_ENCODING:all (not all servers cooperate - and of course lynx _could_ be built without gzip support - but this is where it's configured at runtime in lynx). -- Thomas E.
