Thanks for the input.
"fossil test-http" did the trick:
webpage=/setup
printf "GET $webpage HTTP/1.0\n\n" | fossil test-http
My purposes for parsing the built-in web pages are basically two:
1. I want to hack the Fossil code:
a. I parse and save the HTML from the builtin pages (excluding
pages where the output makes no sense, for example /zip)
b. I modify the source code (related to one or more web pages)
c. I parse the same pages again to check that I have changed only
the web page output I intended to change. A kind of self test before
committing.
This WoW is obviously only helpful for a developer changing the Fossil
source code of one single (official) commit.
It does not make sense to save the output for later use and compare it
between commits, as the content/structure may change.
2. I want to validate the web pages: Validate the HTML, check for
broken links, etc, using for example the W3C validation tools.
This kind of validation could be used both to find existing, and to
avoid introducing new invalid HTML.
Could possibly be useful both for programmers and for skin-makers.
BR,
Johan
