or, to start an ssh tunnel in the background, i use:

$ ssh -fNL port:host:port [EMAIL PROTECTED]

or for the opposite direction:

$ ssh -fNR port:host:port [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can use links with Javascript by compiling it with the
"javascript" USE flag (USE="javascript" emerge links or just add it to
your USE variable in your /etc/make.conf file).

I have to thank you Iain, I was looking for a solution like this for a

Thanks, worked great.  Thinking outside the square!  I had gotten into
the train of thought that console must equal textbrowser.

why don't you use ssh port forwarding? I do this all the time to get to
the (internal only) web page of my router at home, which has a gentoo
box behind it:

eg
gentoo-home 192.168.1.2
router-int  192.168.1.3
router-ext  router.dyndns.org

from pc at work:
ssh -L :192.168.1.3:80 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(my router accepts ssh connections and forwards them to 192.168.1.2)

then, with the ssh open in the background, connect your graphical
browser on your pc to localhost: and viola!

HTH,

[gentoo-user] text browser with frames and javascript that actually works

2005-06-21 Thread W.Kenworthy
Is there a working text console browser that can use frames and
javascript?  I am trying to access a dlink dsl modem setup page via
ssh'ing into a gentoo box behind it:

lynx: no frames, doesnt do javascript
links: blank display (zero sized pages), though it works ok on standard
html elsewhere
elinks: looks nice, but comes back with javascript disabled when I try
and access a javascript enabled subpage.  Ive installed spidermonkey
which it apparently needs with no luck.  I have come across comments
that a patched version of elinks is needed as well.

At this rate I'll have to set up vnc so I can run mozilla or firefox
just to view it!
