I want to decode URL encoding, is there any built-in tool for doing this or could anyone provide me with a sed code that will do this? I did search a bit through unix.stackexchange.com and on the internet but I couldn't find any command line tool for decoding url encoding. What I want to do is simply in place edit a txt file so that: - %21 becomes ! - %23 becomes # - %24 becomes $ - %26 becomes & - %27 becomes ' - %28 becomes ( - %29 becomes ) And so on.

* I have a shortened URL from some documentation * I would like to open the URL because I believe the URL has good information * but I do not want to click the link until I can see the full URL ### how to get full URL from shortened URLs like bit.ly?

I have a bit of a problem making this script work and was wondering if anyone knew what the problem is. It is supposed to take a list of urls as input, scan them for sub directories and then output it to different files. for i in $(urls.txt); do echo $i; fn=$(echo $i | sed "s/\///g"); echo $fn; dirb $i /usr/share/wordlists/dirb/small.txt > $fn; done This script does correctly remove slashes for the new file but I get the error (translated from Swedish) that ": no such file or directory". Probably from the > $fn part. for i in $(urls.txt); do echo $i; fn=$(echo $i | sed "s/\///g"); echo $fn; dirb $i /usr/share/wordlists/dirb/small.txt -o $fn; done And trying to use dirb's own output I instead get an error like "OUTPUT_FILE httpwww.website.com (!) FATAL: Error opening output file: httpwww.website.com" And some clarification regarding the one liners: 1) loop through a list of urls 2) output the url to terminal 3) generate filename from url using sed 4) output filename to terminal 5) run url through dirb and try to output it to file name The supposed output file names look fine to me but aren't working. Does anyone know why that is?

I would like to use so called bugrefs in Konsole . e.g. boo#1194208 would be evaluated into https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1194208. Can I configure it somehow? Or do I need to implement it as a plugin ?

How automatically open a URL after rebooting on a Debian desktop? 1- Running the command by terminal: xdg-open http://homeassistant.local:8123 OK it works and opens the URL above 2- creating any script, for example test1.sh with the content: xdg-open http://homeassistant.local:8123 and running it via bash command: bash test1.sh works equally But if I try to call these scripts or the command line itself via crontab, it doesn't run even if I include a sleep after reboot! Example: @reboot sleep 15; /home/carlos/test1.sh Where test1.sh is a simple script with only a command line: (It works via bash manually as I describe above ) xdg-open http://homeassistant.local:8123 I see that my crontab runs because I did a simple command along with, in order to see if runs @reboot echo "hi" >> filexx ( OK works and it creates the file ) My question: What occurs to me is that it is not works because these commands lines only run in a terminal mode, but is that it? Even the command to call a terminal before at crontab doesn't works ex: @reboot sleep 15; xterm I am specialized in Hardware (electronic engineer not a software developer ) and therefore I don’t have many experiences in Debian or Ubuntu etc. Even though I have seen several posts and repeat them in the same way, I cannot get crontab to open an specific URL... Even creating by: crontab -u user -e Even giving permissions to the my test1.sh files by chmod etc **I suppose that I’m making a basic mistake…** In summary I just want after a reboot in a Raspberry Debian desktop open automatically an URL only this! (For use as a home assistant Kiosk webpage on this desktop)

$ garcon-url-handler https://example.com/ 

opens the URL in a regular browser window. How to make it open it in an incognito window? No I don't want to type CTRL+SHIFT+N and paste it in the URL bar.

nurdsborough@penguin$ ls
info.html
nurdsborough@penguin$ garcon-url-handler info.html        #works
nurdsborough@penguin$ garcon-url-handler info.html#anchor #fails

What is the workaround?

xdg-open can open urls, but only ones starting with ftp, http or https. But my browser will happily open other urls in programs that have a handler for it registered, e.g. f5-vpn:// urls (for a vpn, this launches the vpn client after authenticating in a web app). How can I open other urls like f5-vpn:// with their registered handler from the command line, just like the browser does?

I want to block keyword "import" in any URL, including https websites. Example: http://www.abc.com/import/dfdsf https://xyz.com/import/hdovh How to create acl to do it? Thanks

How can I tell xdg-open to open, say, YouTube URLs in a specific app, but use my default browser for all other URLs?

I would like to register a URL scheme (or protocol) handler for my own custom URL protocol, so that clicking on a link with this custom protocol will execute a command on that URL. Which steps do I need to take to add this handler? Example: I want to open URLs like ddg://query%20terms in a new DuckDuckGo browser search. If this protocol already exists, I assume that the steps to override a handler don't differ much from the steps to create a new one. Yes, technically, this is just a URL scheme, not a protocol.

Is there an easy way to get the URLs for the downloaded packages in DNF? What I'm trying to achieve: I'm currently on a very expensive Internet plan, so I need to get links, download packages on a different connection and feed them to DNF.

I am creating a script, which should download latest version of an application from repository and deploy the app. The main issue: there are several repositories and I need to check, which of them has most recent version. E.g. http://repo1/xyz/LATEST -> (redirects to) -> http://repo1/xyz/app-1.0.0.0.zip http://repo2/xyz/LATEST -> (redirects to) -> http://repo1/xyz/app-1.1.0.0.zip So I need to iterate over available repositories and get only a filename - no need to download obsolette versions of software.

I've been updating code on a website that contains calls to googletagmanager.com for a couple of days now, but only just realised that it's wasn't really broken. Turns out my MX Linux desktop simply refuses to connect any requests made to googletagmanager.com... All browsers = fail All plugins = disabled or removed ping googletagmanger.com = success httping https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=AW-866896948 = fail "could not connect (Connection refused)" Tested on 4 other computers = success So it looks like it's something with my computer only because **calls to anyones googletagmanager URL fail, not just ones I maintain** for my own clients. Any ideas what to look at next? I'm running MX-21.3 "Wildflower"

One of the very useful things about urxvt is that I could use keyboard shortcuts to navigate through and open hyperlinks that appeared on the terminal screen (by adding some urxvt* entries on .Xresources, IIRC). Now I'm on xfce4-terminal and am missing this functionality. I took a look at ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/accels.scm but couldn't find anything relevant. For the moment, I'm stuck to having to grab my mouse and Ctrl+click the terminal URLs I want to open in the browser, which is quite disruptive to my workflow. Question: **is it possible to select and open URLs printed on the xfce4-terminal just using the keyboard?** I'd be glad to hear about other terminal emulators that offer this functionality, but I don't intend on going back to urxvt for the moment.

Let me take you to this short trip: Open terminal. Type

The first 10 lines of that text file are printed on standard output, displayed on the screen. In my case it looks like this:

(Beginning of line 7)yada yada yada [[https://example-url-1.com][Example  URL #1]] - [[https://example-url-2.com][Example  URL #2]] yada yada yada (End of line 7)

Two links, right in the middle of line 7, surrounded by text, instead of being alone in that line. And now the quiz question: How to copy only URL #2 into memory for pasting it in another program without using the mouse? In GNU emacs? Super easy: Search for 'ht' - cursor jumps to beginning of the link, C-M SPC, link is marked, M-w, marked section is copied. But in bash?

from $ man lynx page: > If more than one local file or remote URL is listed on the command line, Lynx will open only the last interactively. All of the names (local files and remote URLs) are added to the G)oto history. Since I prefer not having to manually move between documents (G)oto history), I'm currently using xargs to send multiple URLs (in a text file, one per line) in order to sequentially open all in lynx: xargs --max-lines=1 lynx Q twice to proceed to the next webpage. Directly opening several URLs opens the last one interactively, as mentioned on the man page: lynx https://example.com/ https://example.net/ https://example.org/ https://example.edu/ --- related questions: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/17659/opening-multiple-urls-from-a-text-file-as-different-tabs-in-firefox-chrome https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/703399/how-to-open-several-local-html-documents-in-lynx/

How can I fix it?

how can i convert plaintext files containing a bunch of urls to html with clickable links? preferably on the command line. every once in a while i end up with a plaintext file containing a bunch of urls. often one url per line. maybe some empty lines in between. sometimes with some text. sometimes even text and url in one line. $ cat foo.txt some links https://stackoverflow.com/ https://superuser.com/ https://askubuntu.com/ best? https://unix.stackexchange.com/ the files are generated by humans so i cannot just configure the source to output well formatted files. if there are only couple of urls then i can copy them by hand. or cat in gnome terminal (which makes urls clickable) and click on the links. i can even cat foo.txt | xargs firefox. but if they are mixed with text or if there are too many links then all that is no longer feasible. i would like to not start to try to parse urls using regex: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/378496/sed-to-replace-text-url-to-html-url
