1) Compile ELinks with --enable-cgi
2) Enable CGI and set CGI path, for example add ~/bin there.
3) Save this script as 'run' in that path:
#!/usr/bin/php.cgi
<?php
header('Content-Type: text/plain');
header('Cache-Control: no-cache');
$a = getenv("QUERY_STRING");
$r = rawurldecode($a);
passthru("$r");
?>
3a) chmod +x ~/bin/run
text/html is left as an exercise for the reader.
4) Define the smart prefix run = file:///home/ziutek/bin/run?%s
Instead of ziutek insert your login off course.
5) Type in the ELinks Goto-URL dialog: run ls, etc.
You were warn, it is not 100% safe.
