/prog/ - Piping curl into a pager

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.

I'm gonna save you the trouble, and tell you this isn't a good idea. Lots of people had the same idea before you, and it never amounted to anything.
Just fork elinks and do what you want with that.

Regular expressions solve everything, apparently.

Just fork elinks

Is there actually any text browser that's still in development (at least recently)?
Always thought it was odd how there aren't any still made. It's not like it's a real waste.

Why does it still need development when it's already complete?

This idea is absolutely retarded.

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?

And no, using elinks as-is is not ideal, as >>52-san says.

I've lookep up the possibility of doing this on Guile Scheme, and guile has a package with bindings for ncurses and also native support for most www operations.

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.
