> How do you override mime types? Not sure what information you are looking for. "Overriding" mime types in the sense of ignoring the encoding of a particular file type is not something you want to do lightly. Just as general knowledge, I offer the following suggestions on ways to have Lynx handle files based on the file extension(s).
1) define a DOWNLOADER in lynx.cfg 2) use a (pseudo)proxy method, or apply the "Cern rules" code 3) define an EXTERNAL in lynx.cfg 4) hardcode Lynx 5) define a SUFFIX/VIEWER *pair* in lynx.cfg, or (IMHO, better,) make entries in your PERSONAL_EXTENSION_MAP *and* PERSONAL_MAILCAP. The last of these options is nice in that it makes things "automagic." The method also allows you to have "levels" of extensions. For example you can hit [Enter] on the link "http://www.irm.nara.kindai.ac.jp/ lynxdev/archives/0201.arc.bz2" and have Lynx pass the file to "bzip2" to be decompressed, and then pass the decompressed file to "most" for viewing by putting the following two lines in, e.g., ".mime.types" text/x-archive arc application/x-bzip2 bz2 to define the extension type, and then two lines in, e.g., ".mailcap" text/x-archive; /usr/bin/most +s -k %s application/x-bzip2; /usr/bin/bzip2 -d %s to define what applications should be used to open files of those types. __Henry ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
