Public bug reported:
I'm using a script to find a list of all .pdf files on a url. But lynx
seems to have a problem with spaces in filenames. Here's the script:
lynx --dump http://www.somesite/here/ | awk '/http/{print $2} | grep
pdf > ~/Desktop/links.txt
This works as expected until there is a .pdf with whitespace in the
filename. Lynx seems to truncate the filename at the whitespace.
