I didn't notice that (perhaps our invisible administrative helper did).
According to the lynx man page it should be possible to convince
lynx to accept input via it's stdin unless I'm misunderstanding
what is being said:
- If the argument is only '-', then Lynx expects to
receive the arguments from stdin. This is to allow
for the potentially very long command line that
can be associated with the -get_data or -post_data
arguments (see below). It can also be used to
avoid having sensitive information in the invoking
command line (which would be visible to other
processes on most systems), especially when the
-auth or -pauth options are used.
But when I try something like:
PC% cat file.html | /usr/local/bin/lynx -dump -force_html -
That's because the contents of file.html are not arguments, but data.
Use the "-stdin" option to tell lynx to read data (the startfile)
from the standard input.
