Hi Gurus,
I am very new to this tool. I have insight about CLI browsers. And sometime
back I tried wget to access a website and parse it. But I had a constraint not
to store the html file in my machine but to directly grep the content and parse
it. (Anyways I agree a browser needs to cache/buffer to get the file content
and render. But thats implicit)
Something like this which I was not able to accomplish from wget
==================================================================
pa...@hdhctdam45375 -bash-3.00# ./links -no-g -http-proxy 129.156.85.11:8080
-dump www.google.com | wc -l
15
pa...@hdhctdam45375 -bash-3.00# ./links -no-g -http-proxy 129.156.85.11:8080
-dump www.google.com | grep -i search

So far so good. But wget had the parameter options to pass the username and
password to the website.
Like :
bash-3.00# wget --help | grep user
--user=USER set both ftp and http user to USER.
--http-user=USER set http user to USER.
--ftp-user=USER set ftp user to USER.
Do we have any such option in links? Hope is expectation is valid
(I read an option in links only for anonymous ftp user! )
Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Paras
