e-links has, probably, the best parser of any of the text-mode browsers. It is used by a couple of programs to 'dump' content. And its' libs for de-coding MS Word files and others, is now part of abiword.

updated to 0.11.6

see main post.

NOTE: If you've an older version installed, it would be better to uninstall that first. I've changed the prefix and splitted up the pet's so that the main pet is much smaller.

Hello aragon !

Thank you very much for your work and the great console based web browser.

I am planning to automate login to a website like "nic.de.vu" for updating some information on the site.

Do you know some easy console based solution to login to a page
change some data and logout.
Could e-links be used for that ?

Thanks again for the package.
Greetings ARAN

yes... I am posting from it now in Barry's 218... much has been upgraded in that, so I didn't hesitate to install it even though it was compiled in 421.

new versions of text browsers lynx links elinks

Duckduckgo just informed me that as of Jan 1 2020 I will not be able to use it with
my current version of lynx, nor does it work with old version of links and elinks
available to racy linux.

SDF.org has versions that do work. Are there recent version of any of these already compiled that
will work with lupu or racy puppy?
