Piping curl into a pager

Name: Anonymous 2018-02-26 9:33

E.g.
$ curl www.google.com | sed '/<[^>]*>/d' | less

Could this be used as the basis for a text-based browser? Curl has POST and cookies support too, and Guile Scheme could be used instead of javascript.

It's a start, but everything would be either on one line or would have ridiculous white-space due to how it was created.

Easy, just insert a linefeed every 80 characters.

Sure, but that doesn't fix the other presentation problems.

But I guess since you said ``as the basis,'' it's different.

But nobody uses scheme on the web, what would the point be?

Next in plan is creating a 'lshttp' script (similar to ls) for listing all linked hyperlinks inside a given web page.
Something like
#!/bin/bash
curl $1 | sed '/<\s*a \s*href\s*=\s*"([^"])"/gi!d'
(Haven't tested yet.)

To be honest, I've started learning shell script recently, and haven't yet gathered enough experience to develop any sense of elitism between shells.

it's not about elitism, it's about portability. if your script works with #!/bin/sh, it will work with other Bourne-compatible shells (ash, dash, bash, probably ksh and zsh too but I'm not an expert on those)

First of all, you meant /<\s*a \s*href\s*=\s*"([^"]*)"/
second, that won't work if the tag has any other attribute before href. So it only works for basic html.

But I was also wondering why people don't do this >>42. Lots of people would use a good terminal browser, so why is there no interest in creating/forking one?

https://www.gnu.org/software/guile-ncurses/
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Web-Client.html

I've installed guile-ncurses the other day and tested it a bit, but still haven't found the time to get a prototype out.
