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?

if you can't follow links, your're are missing an essential feature of hypertext. even cudderbrowser has more functionality than this

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.)

It's not about parsing, but about extracting the information I want, in this case, the list of links contained in the page.

Curl is against my religion, I refuse to use it. I also feel offended that you use #!/bin/bash instead of #!/bin/sh.

Then substitute it for the world wide web application of your choice.
I also feel offended that you use #!/bin/bash instead of #!/bin/sh.
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.

Name: Anonymous 2018-02-28 8:03

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.

Makes sense. I'll start testing it with sh to check if it is portable.

I'll pipe that output into something else later, but it is useful to have that as a separate tool.
