Lynx returns cannot find the homepage.. Netscape uses Javascript for autoconfiguration of the proxy. As lynx has no Javascript you can't use that feature with Lynx. cu Torsten pgpt1Ver1Zcm1.pgp Description: PGP signature

As far as I know Netscape is the only one that reads these. Lynx wants a server for a proxy. You could try the address you got without the proxy.pac, ie http://proxy2.hawkesbury.uws.edu.au Or you could read the rest of the proxy.pac manually, and use some of the servers in there. Someone want to write a script that reads a proxy.pac and sticks it lynx'x config? ;) HTH, Tim. --
Lynx Proxy again
Hi all, I did the following, still not working.. In netscape 4.5 I set my proxy - auto proxy - http://proxy2.hawkesbury.uws.edu.au/proxy.pac, and it worked fine... so in lynx.cfg, I wrote a line: http_proxy = http://proxy2.hawkesbury.uws.edu.au/proxy.pac But it does not work. Lynx returns cannot find the homepage.. I also tried to use the port settings and it didn't help... So what did I do wrong... Shao
Re: Lynx Proxy again
Fair Warning Shao: I'm not only a Linux-newbie, but incompetent all-around. However, One thing I AM is curious, so here's my -2 Cents. I saw you linking to: http://proxy2.hawkesbury.uws.edu.au/proxy.pac So I wondered what kind of data is in proxy.pac. Upon viewing it, I see these first three lines: // november.uws.edu.au/opt/NCSAhttpd/docs/proxy.pac // // Auto proxy file for Netscape browsers I'm thinking maybe this file is NS-Specific? I know Lynx follows the standards, so maybe there's something non-standard about it? -Ryan Shao Zhang [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 12/09/98 03:57:14 AM To: debian debian-user@lists.debian.org cc:(bcc: Ryan King/TUL-MIS/PEFS/PEC) Subject: Lynx Proxy again Hi all, I did the following, still not working..
