Look in /usr/local/lib/lynx.cfg for configuration for lynx (thats slackware's location.... do a `locate lynx.cfg`)
Find lines like #http_proxy:http://some.server.dom:port/ #https_proxy:http://some.server.dom:port/ #ftp_proxy:http://some.server.dom:port/ and change them to http_proxy:http://myproxy.foo:3128/ https_proxy:http://myproxy.foo:3128/ ftp_proxy:http://myproxy.foo:3128/ If your proxy requires authentication then I'm *guessing* it'll need to be something like this http_proxy:http:/username:passwd/myproxy.foo:3128/ https_proxy:http:/username:passwd/myproxy.foo:3128/ ftp_proxy:http:/username:passwd/myproxy.foo:3128/ This may sound bad putting your password into a plain text world readable file - it should, it is. However if you're the only user on the box then it'll make all users use that proxy on your password. And if you're on a multi-user box then copy lynx.cfg to ~/.lynxcfg and it is now your own personal config file. Remember - lynx is good - lynx can do most anything that doesn't require graphics (shockflashwave etc) For the list - how w3c compliant is lynx ? ---------- From: ktb[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 2 May 2000 1:48 AM To: Debian Users Subject: lynx and squid I've looked in the archives and the documentation for lynx. I was wondering if lynx can be set up to use squid on my firewall? I see there is a way to set up lynx in /etc/lynx.cfg to use an isp's proxy but I haven't been able to get lynx to work with mine. I have also tried to sign in on my firewall with 'lynx -pauth=fkent:<passwd>' but that results in -- Warning, unable to connect to remote host. If lynx can't be used with squid then is there a text browser out there that will? Thanks, kent -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
