ELinks is converting that argument to a URI, which process encodes the question mark and ampersands. In fact, don't you get a file-not-found error? Try providing a URI: elinks 'file:///home/me/cgi-bin/printenv.cgi?value1&value2' > > Any ideas? I think elinks will be a wonderful tool for simple local apps > > where forms screens are needed. Indeed. GITweb and info2html are nifty CGI scripts, and Witek wrote a CGI script for FSP support before he implemented built-in support. I'd love to know of other useful CGI scripts that work with ELinks. -- Miciah Masters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> / <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
