Re: [Lynx-dev] help with ff.net.
Hi David, But that is part of what makes this situation so unique. Fanfiction.net experienced a distributed denial-of-service attack. Granted, I may be wrong, but that kind of flooding tends to take computer bots, certainly scripted software. However, instead of the individual right now, it is the download programs, of which there are a few, that can bypass the captcha, reach the site and get content. Individuals would get the ads, but individuals are blocked. Programs like caliber which has a fanfiction plug in, and fanfiction downloader which I understand just gets stories, both letting you create a library? Their developers can code past or hack past the door. One would think it might work in reverse, computer programs being blocked, but individuals getting through.

Re: [Lynx-dev] help with ff.net.
Hi Thorsten,
Ah okay on Firefox, I understand.
The thing about using a downloader program is that you get the stories,
in text, without advertising allowing you to just open the file in lynx if
you want to read that way, or off line.
The program is called fanfiction downloader.
i would get captchas when trying to leave a review. Also when attempting
to log in with my incomplete for this reason ffn account.
Thanks for clarification.
Enjoy your holidays in return,
Karen

[Lynx-dev] help with ff.net.
Hi folks, the actual website can be either www.fanfiction.net or m.fanfiction.net recently the site got hacked with the owners incorporating cloudflare. whenever I visit any of my bookmarks, or try reaching the page directly, I am presented with a captcha solve request, with no captcha presented. I am told that I might try refresh, but there is more than one of these. also that I might clear the casch, but again I am unsure which option to check, for this, finding the list of links for cashe, does not explain how to clear them. my removing the send user agent option may have the system thinking I am a hacker as I now get a forbidden 403 on top of the other message. I can share the text if this helps. the error page does reference our ip address here, which may be making matters worse. I note a k for cookie jar. If I select this, how do I remove a cookie? any other ideas based on what happens at your end if you try?

Re: [Lynx-dev] Help
may i have an example of your goals? If i understand you, you want to select an item for download, bypass all protections in between, and find that item on your desktop. speaking personally, I can think of many reasons why that extra step as it is, is more helpful than a problem. let's say that as presented, the file you desire has an actual name of http://sniffles#7jile8#rivhelhsjieli128r3cr.mp3 What the extra step lets you do is change that file name to something like sniffles.mp3 without all the extra characters and the risk that because the actual file name begins with something that may conflict, you end up with the file you desire where you desire it, with a name that is easy to locate. You do not want that option at all? Personally, its a saving grace for me because many many many times the file to download has a name with no relationship to its actual contents. kare On Sat, 6 Jun 2020, daichiash1...@gmail.com wrote: I am using lynx to download a file.

Re: [Lynx-dev] Help
Downloading to a temporary file is how lynx has always done downloads. I don't know if there's a way to bypass that or not, but if that's truly what you want, why not use wget or curl? That's exactly what they were made for. You can even add them to the lynx.cfg file as support programs (I forget what lynx calls them), but it's used for things like playing music and decoding images and such. Just add wget or curl to the configuration with proper naming parameters, and you're all set. Then there would be no temporary files to deal with. Note: I've not tried this, so your mileage may vary. It's possible lynx will still make a temporary file before passing the file to the wget program, so you may still be out of luck in that regard.

Hello to you three,
We spoke a few weeks ago about a compilation of Lynx, and this is behind now,
great :)
I have a new problem concerning the ability of Lynx to interprete the braille
media query :
In my CSS code, I have something like :
@media braille {
#something{
display:none;
}
}
But it doesn't work ... would you know if there is a solution to hide some
parts of an HTML document for a braille type media ?
Sorry to bother, and thanks if you have an idea ...

I am an intermediate computer user, having failed to use multiple versions of Linux in the past (mostly Ubuntu).

My overarching problem is that manual installation and editing configuration files appears advanced; I don’t know what to do. I tried figuring it out months ago on an old MacBook Pro and wound up installing lynxlet instead after writing to you.

My problems are: 1. The content does not resize with making the window larger; I’d like to use it full-screen in addition to any size. 2. Blue text is basically impossible for me to read against the black background. (I want to keep the black background.) 3. I would like to make the text larger.

It is not hard. I do this in most cases. For Debian/Ubuntu, I first install "apt" (rather than use the desktop program...). Then I install the development packages that are used in lynx. For example sudo apt-get install libncursesw5-dev openssl libbz2-dev zlib1g-dev gettext After that, it is "only" configure (with suitable options), make and install. For the configure options, I recommend at least these (which should work given the apt-get command above): --enable-ipv6 --enable-nls --with-screen=ncursesw --with-ssl --with-bzlib --with-zlib If there are problems doing that, I can advise you... -- Thomas E.

The configure script (which is biased toward gcc) decided that it found stdbool.h (probably part of the gcc/g++ header files). To appease the resulting configuration, you'll have to add a -I option that points to the directory where stdbool.h is located. I'm guessing it's under /projects/gnu/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/lib/ but that's not necessarily good, since gcc's private header files (not stdbool.h, I expect) tend to have gcc-isms that may not be palatable to Sun's compiler. You might try adding a -I option to point there, just to see what happens. Otherwise, copying it someplace such as /volws/lwv28/ldatae/include might make it compile properly. -- Thomas E.

[Lynx-dev] help sought to resolve lynx 2-8-6 failure to build on sparc solaris 8
I am attempting to configure and build lynx on a sparc solaris 8 machine
using Sun's C compiler, version Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C 5.3.
I am using these flags for configuration.
gnu=/projects/gnu/sparc-sun-solaris2.8
export LIBS=" -L/projects/intranet/lib -L/volws/lwv28/ldatae/lib -L${gnu}/lib
-R/projects/intranet/lib:/volws/lwv28/ldatae/lib:${gnu}/lib -lz "
export CPPFLAGS="-I/projects/intranet/include -I/volws/lwv28/ldatae/include
-I${gnu}/include"
export CFLAGS="-g -Xc"
export CC=cc
export TN3270="gettso 2"
$PWD/configure --prefix=/projects/intranet \
--libdir=/projects/intranet/lib/lynx \
--includedir=${gnu}/include \
--with-included-gettext \
--with-ssl=/projects/intranet \
--with-catgets \

--enable-nsl-fork \
--enable-partial \
--enable-persistent-cookies \
--enable-read-eta \
--enable-source-cache \
--enable-vertrace \
--enable-nested-tables
When I try to build, I get this error.

Can anyone help me figure out what to provide to the configuration so that lynx
builds?
