<h1>The Mynx Web Browser</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Usage</h2>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<code><b>mynx</b> <i>filepath</i>|<i>url</i></code>
|

</blockquote>
|
|

|
<h2>Description</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
View the web as it once was with the Mynx web browser. A fusion of something between more(1) and lynx(1).
|
|
It allows you to surf the web in complete safety and tranquility. The ideal web browser
|
|
for small children and their sensitive minds. It contains
|
|
a window popup blocker, it filters banner ads, and is easy to configure!
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can view local HTML files or give an <code>http://</code> URL. Simply press
|
|
the ENTER key to page down through long documents. To navigate, just type the number
|
|
found in square brackets to the left of any link, followed by the ENTER key. To
|
|
quit, simply visit link zero (0), or type CTRL+C.
|

<h2>Technical Overview</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Parses well formed XHTML documents as given by the
|
|
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/">W3C XHTML 1.0 Specification</a>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Recognises the terminal window dimensions and performs line wrapping.</li>
|
|
<li>Supports the ISO 8859-1 character entities, which can be easily redefined.</li>
|
|
<li>The compact HTML scanner supports trivial wildcard matching.</li>
|
|
<li>With minor changes, can be built as a Windows native console application.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Known Issues</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following issues are related to space constraints:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>HTTP redirection responses (301, 302, 303, and 307) are not handled, assuming
|
|
that a short HTML message with a clickable link will be provided as recommended by
|
|
RFC 2616. However, not all sites properly adhere to this useful recommendation.
|
|
Symptoms of this are a couple of blank lines and a return to the prompt after
|
|
selecting a link.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/">HTML 4.01</a> or older documents should
|
|
still display, though the formatting may be a little different as these documents
|
|
often omit closing tags for many elements such as: </p>, </li>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>MIME types other than text/html are not handled.</li>
|
|
</ul>
