Thanks to Witold Filipczyk, who replyed in a private email, the problem
is now solved by the following solution:
- Compiling Elinks with python support, e.g. add --with-python to the
configure script. To avoid some errors at runtime, I had to also add
--sysconfdir=/etc/elinks.
- Add to ~/.elinks/hooks.py
----------
import urllib
def follow_url_hook(url):
"""Rewrite a URL for a link that's about to be followed.
This function should return a string containing a URL for ELinks to
follow, or an empty string if no URL should be followed, or None if
ELinks should follow the original URL.
Arguments:
url -- The URL of the link.
"""
url2 = urllib.quote(url, safe=':~/&%,#+-_=;?')
f = open("/home/user/.elinks/log.txt", "a")
f.write("%s %s\n" % (url, url2))
f.close()
return url2
----------
Thanks and regards,
Lars
