I am also using elinks, however there is something very annoying about it that I do not know how to fix. It somes like this: when I open a post / article in this blog once it loads completely I am sent to the text area for reply intead at the top of the document. This is very frustrating, I have to press Home button to go up there! When I go back and forth again it does not happen (I guess something gets cached?). Do you happen to know how I can fix this behaviour, i.e. NOT focusing the textarea on load?

Thanks

Very interesting. I’m looking for a console browser as I’ll be spending a lot of time on a box without X.
However, my elinks looks pretty boring compared to this. Would you mind sharing your elinks.conf?

I just switched to elinks, and I love it! K.Mandla, have you read:
http://urukrama.wordpress.com/2010/01/02/watching-youtube-videos-in-elinks/
He finished it of by passing the ball you:
“And so you can watch your favourite Youtube (or Google Video, or Vimeo, or …) clips without having to rely on Flash, or even X. Now K.Mandla can finally watch his favourite slug races on the framebuffer! ”

By the way, my favorite keys in elinks:
“Ins”, “Del”, “.”

I think elinks uses HTTP_PROXY, FTP_PROXY, and HTTPS_PROXY. unlike other browsers that use http_proxy. Its listed in man elinks.

is there anyway to render the “post new topic” part of wordpress in a more elinks-friendly enviorment? (something similar to gmail’s basic HTML or Mobile modes).

i would love to use elinks but there is a major problem with it … i m behind a proxy authenticated internet access system … while wget and w3m work with the environment variable http_proxy elinks simply refuses to work …

the following lines

set protocol.http.proxy.host = ” ”
set protocol.http.proxy.user = “”
set protocol.http.proxy.passwd = “”

in the elinks.conf file do the trick but i really really wish it would start respecting the environment variables

There is a way to set the cookie to “expire” at the end of the session, if that is what you
are looking for.

‘O’ key for options manager – cookies – Maximum age – 0

CLI forever!

After you submit the form, try hitting Ctrl+R to refresh the page — in elinks, as stated above, the preference seems to be to use cached pages. You may well have submitted the form, but elinks is still displaying the pre-submission version.
