- swiley 9y agocurl -H "" -o stuff.html && elinks stuff.html I've been looking for a site I can run this on over TOR at random times for reading news but I haven't found one.
- dredmorbius 9y agoCan elinks read from stdin?
- swiley 9y agolinks2 can, and both of them have --dump. The nice thing about doing it like this is that the file persists on disk so viewing a page is decoupled from fetching it (which is nice for a lot of reasons.)
- dredmorbius 9y agoYeah, I may have done that once or twice myself. https://ello.co/dredmorbius/post/naya9wqdemiovuvwvoyquq https://ello.co/dredmorbius/post/naya9wqdemiovuvwvoyquq Why browsers don't dump to disk in a format that makes for easy rendering ... I don't know.
- vortico 9y agoWith addons which disable user agents, referrers, and other details, and by disabling Javascript, you can nearly achieve this with Firefox and Chrome. I've noticed that some website refuse to serve content without a user agent.
