Package: lynx-cur Version: 2.8.8dev.12-2 Severity: normal lynx doesn't behave correctly when downloading a file (such as tar and zip archives) that has a /etc/mailcap entry with a copiousoutput parameter, e.g.
application/zip; unzip -l '%s'; nametemplate=%s.zip; copiousoutput I expect the file to be downloaded. Instead, the contents are listed on the terminal, but don't appear in the alternate screen[*] (which lynx uses), so that they are immediately erased. [*] when supported by the terminal, such as xterm. So, there are 2 problems: 1. lynx doesn't offer the choice to download the file (I don't know whether this is configurable, but giving the choice should be the default, like with other browsers). 2. If lynx wants to support the copiousoutput entries, it should get the results via a pipe. Note: lynx currently freeze for tar archives, but this is a bug in the tar mailcap entries (a Ctrl-C interrupts tar).
