Looking at the source, the explanation seems to be this (for presenting the image): a) the gopher protocol doesn't give mime-type information (it just identifies that as an image). Lynx would like to use the mime-type and ignore the actual filename :-) b) lynx maps any gopher-provided image to image/gif gifs were more common a while back :-) c) that mapping leads to the suggested suffix for the xloadimage (viewer) command. The viewer looks at the file format anyway, and should ignore the suffix... On the other hand, the download follows a different path, using just the server's link filename, which ends in ".png". > Downloading the image works fine, and it respects the filename. > > My version info: > > Lynx Version 2.8.9dev.16 (11 Jul 2017) > libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, GNUTLS 3.5.17, ncurses 6.1.20180127(wide) > Built on linux-gnu. > > Is this expected behavior, or am I running into a bug here?

[Lynx-dev] Lynx seems to ignore file extensions with temp downloads on gopher protocol I types
I've been playing around with Gopher recently, which is an amazing protocol and I love that Lynx supports gopher! But I discovered some weirdness. When there's an (I)mage listed and you simply hit enter -- over HTTP this would kick off my external image viewer -- but with gopher it looks like it always tries to treat (I)mages as (g)if. An example, if you go to `lynx gopher://rpod.leveck.us/` and hit enter on the PHOTO OF THE SERVERS image link, which is a jpg, it names the temp file .gif. Downloading the image works fine, and it respects the filename. My version info: Lynx Version 2.8.9dev.16 (11 Jul 2017) libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, GNUTLS 3.5.17, ncurses 6.1.20180127(wide) Built on linux-gnu. Is this expected behavior, or am I running into a bug here? Thanks! -Wayne ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev

What are you using to copy and paste? If you're using gnu screen, you can do the concatenation at the same time as the copy. Just move the cursor to the beginning of the URL and press "c" (without the quotes) to set the first column, press "y" to "yank" the whole line, cursor down to hilight all lines of the URL, then press "J" (shifted "j") to "join lines", then either space or enter to finish the copy, and the lines will be copied as one line. Make sure you only press the "J" once, as it cycles between joining, joining with blanks, joining with commas, and not joining. Also, if for some reason, spaces are hilighted at the end of a line, you may need to press "C" (shifted "c") at the end of the line to set the last column, but that doesn't usually happen. If you're using tmux, you can do something similar, but you have to concatenate the lines when you paste instead of when you copy. For example, you can use the "|" key to paste the paste buffer with all lines concatenated with the following: bind-key | paste-buffer -s "" You'll need to do a "rectangle toggle" when you copy the URL to get the same effect as the "c" and "C" keys in gnu screen. The default keys for this are "v" in vi mode, and "R" in emacs mode. HTH. Chuck ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
Re: [Lynx-dev] copy URL to clipboard shortcut
Hi, I do not know what is the use case, but I assume something like: - you are in a page P - you want to copy the url of the page you are in - you want to paste that URL in an external application For that to work with external you need a file `$HOME/.lynx/external` in your PC _if_ your lynx has been compiled with the option external. I post here my externals file for example: ``` EXTERNAL:http:echo -n %s|xclip -i:TRUE EXTERNAL:http:wget %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:http:mpv %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:http:git clone %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:http:links -g %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:http:chrome %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:gopher:lynx -dump %s|urlview:TRUE EXTERNAL:gopher:echo -n %s|xclip -i:TRUE EXTERNAL:gopher:wget %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:ftp:wget %s:TRUE ``` When you are in page P, you press ',' (default keybinding) and a pop up menu will appear with all the possible externals given the protocol. E.g. if you are in a http/https page you would see the options of the first group, i.e. from `echo` to `chrome`. if you select the `echo -n ...` option, it will copy the url of P into clipboard, no other actions needed. To paste it you have to use the shortcut of your terminal or application you want to paste that link into. Note that you can use those externals also on the highlighted/selected link in a page, by pressing '.' instead of ',' .
