**Environment**: Linux VM which I have access only through command line console. **Goal**: I need to download the file: https://download.nlm.nih.gov/umls/kss/2020AA/umls-2020AA-full.zip Unlike typical download using wget, this redirects to a sign-in page. **What I have tried till now**: Tried using the text based browsers: w3m , elinks . Until recent changes in the sign-in page, it used to work. **What had changed in the sign-in page?** Earlier the sign-in page used to take username and password. But recently they have introduced option to sign-in via Google, Microsoft etc. **Problem** The sign-in page looks like this in my local m/c: But when browsing using text based browsers in the VM, it only shows a blank page. Is there any solution to this issue? N.B. - The link to above zip file is mentioned in https://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/licensedcontent/umlsarchives04.html#2020AA - As it is a huge file, I don't have the option to download in my local system and then upload it to the VM. - Had originally asked the question in StackOverflow, but was suggested to raise the question in this forum (so I deleted the original post).

I added this in squid.conf acl blocked_sites dstdomains .yahoo.com http_access deny blocked_sites and this in elinks.conf set protocol.http.proxy.host = "proxy.localhost:3128" set protocol.http.proxy.passwd = "" set protocol.http.proxy.user = "" And i get HOST NOT FOUND

So I have been working on a little script to alert me when an artist releases a new album using amazon and elinks. Problem is that for some reason elinks will stop half way through the -dump command and not finish. Hopefully someone can see what I am missing. An example of the command I am using is: elinks -dump https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_p_lbr_music_artists__0?fst=as%3Aoff&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Athe+prodigy%2Cp_lbr_music_artists_browse-bin%3AThe+Prodigy&keywords=the+prodigy\&ie=UTF8&qid=1466468403&rnid=3458810011 > artist.cache For reference I plan on sending this through a loop that will go through a file and search all the artist on the list like so (note the $artist) https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_p_lbr_music_artists__0?fst=as%3Aoff&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3A$artist%2Cp_lbr_music_artists_browse-bin%3A$artist&keywords=$artist&ie=UTF8&qid=1466468403&rnid=3458810011 Then its just going to use grep and date to post the matching line and artist/album to a text file. So if anyone sees what I am doing wrong I will appricate the help, or if you have an easier idea of how to do get the text from the webpage to a file please let me know as well. Thanks,

After quitting elinks, the browser page history is lingering in my scrollback buffer, and therefore not returning to whatever was buffered on screen when I launched elinks. Inside a GNU screen with altscreen enabled, this does _not_ happen. But in any normal terminal session elinks stays in the buffer. I note that other terminal programs like Vim and lynx _do not_ stay in the scrollback buffer, and instead return the buffer to its state at the time they were launched. I am not finding a configuration option in ELinks to ensure it switches to the alternate terminal, however. $TERM=xterm-256color Is there a configuration option to prevent ELinks sticking around in the scrollback buffer? ### Update: On a little further investigation, the scrollback problem occurs only in iTerm2 and Terminal.app on OSX. In an XTerm, ELinks does not modify the scrollback buffer.

I like the [elinks browser](http://elinks.or.cz/) and I would like to know how does it render the HTML into text, using ANSI styles. I suppose there is a library behind elinks to handle the rendering, or there should be. Is it possible to use that library in another project (e.g. to create a bridge to NodeJS)? I would like to know where to start. :-)

I am running elinks (0.12pre5) in an xterm window in Openbox on a Debian netinstall (7.8) with fairly minimal changes/additional software installation. I have changed a few elinks options, but none that seem like they should be relevant to this issue. In particular, I have not changed any of the keybindings. I have installed the terminus-fonts package, on the off chance that that's relevant. According to man elinkskeys, Alt+ and Alt+> should jump to the first or last line of the current buffer when editing a text box, or move a tab to the left or right otherwise. For me, they do neither of these things. When editing a text box, Alt+ (i.e. Alt+Shift+,) generates the character ¼ (the composed version of 1/4) and Alt+> (i.e. Alt+Shift+.) generates the character ¾ (the composed version of 3/4). I also tried omitting the Shift; Alt+, gives ¬ and Alt+. gives ®. When not editing a text box, none of these keystrokes seems to do anything. On a possibly related note, the man page indicates that, when editing a text box, Ctrl+A and Home "go to the start of the page/line" and Ctrl+E and End "go to the end of the page/line." In fact, all four keystrokes go to the start/end of a line as expected, but do not move the cursor between lines, even when struck repeatedly or held down. Thus, I don't seem to have any way of moving vertically more than one line at a time within a text box. Tab and Shift+Tab also appear to do nothing when editing (I don't expect Alt+Tab to do anything, since that's presumably being preempted by Openbox — which I want it to be!). I am not sure whether this is a consequence of my turning taborder off, which I did because it interacts badly with numbered links on certain pages.

I use Elinks to browse while I am connected remotely. I am unable to login to stackexchange using my OpenID. I enter the correct URL, and upon submission, I get the "No OpenID endpoint found." text. I am certain that I am entering the correct URL. Has anybody else had any success logging in via elinks? Any help will be appreciated.
