Public bug reported:

This yields no output:

curl -s 'https://www.veridiancu.org' | sed -ne '/<form/,/<\/form/p' |
urlscan -n

Without the sed filter, urlscan works.  But then urlscan dumps all URLs
in the whole document.  It seems urlscan was only designed to work on
whole documents.  So perhaps this is not a "bug" but rather a feature
request.

The workaround would normally be to use urlview instead, but urlview has
the limitation of only working interactively.  Perhaps the fix here is
for urlscan to add a --fuzzyhtml option, and use the guts of urlview to
do the processing.
