  It doesn't work for me in emacs-w3m, which does not understand Javascript. I just get redirected to the the washingtonpost.com front page. Update: Actually, I just changed my user-agent from one that advertises my browser as emacs-w3m to one that advertises itself as a common Mozilla/Chrome/Safari browser and I no longer get redirected and can read the original article just fine.

    FWIW I just played around with this. OpenBSD used to include lynx, but now doesn't. I found mailing list question on this and the answer was to use ftp!!! I tried and this just worked for me: ftp -o wp.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/science ... That fails and automatically switches to https and then fetches the article. The formatting isn't ideal but the article text is readable. So many ways to skin a cat, so to speak!

      >OpenBSD used to include lynx, but now doesn't. Second time I have heard about this ... which is confusing because I use lynx on a regular basis on OpenBSD.

        It's in ports/packages now, but it used to be in base.
