Re: [Lynx-dev] stay logged in
I agree with this perspective. Speaking personally, this is exactly why I can still reach the basic view of my gmail account here at shellworld. and why I lost access to my secondary one previously associated with my second shellworld account setup. The google account related cookies in my lynx_cookies file tell gmail who I am and remember each time I choose my gmail bookmark from my file of bookmarks. These cookies are renewed from time to time, but they still work. When google started changing things, i failed to keep the stay signed in box for my research gmail account checked...and can no longer reach that account via gmail's web reader. Granted there is a small chance the site in question cannot reach their cookie due to too many cookie file entries, so that may be an avenue to investigate. Oh I thought of another, my archiveofourown account is tied to my cookie in my lynx_cookies file. I am presented with my account information as a result, without having to log in again, based on that cookie. If all that makes sense.

Re: [Lynx-dev] stay logged in
It looks like you need to turn session files on, then enter a filename into the next field to have cookies save across invocations. I just tried it on a site I frequent, but it didn't work, because that site uses javascript to save the logins, and I don't have any ideas for any sites where I'm a member that don't use javascript, that was the only one I thought might work, turns out their site redesign last year broke it for lynx, it used to work.

Wouldn't an orriginal author in this thread actually mean storing a username/password in a LYNX config? Not sure but I think an only password fields are involved with ftp sites? Chime ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
Re: [Lynx-dev] stay logged in
It's possible to store cookies in a ~/lynx_cookies file too but I don't There is mention of ~/lynx/lynx_cookies in the lynx.cfg file.

Re: [Lynx-dev] stay logged in
If you keyed in the desired weebsite along with the lynx command and if you're in a command line environment on bash why not try hitting the up arrow until your original command shows up then hit enter. This is a use of bash not lynx though. When you key in commands in bash, you create a history you can use arrow keys to navigate along with control-r followed by a search string that should search your existing history for you and put you on the first line matching your search.
