Subject: Can browseURL open a lynx browser?
Dear all,
I wish to do :
browseURL("http://www.google.com","lynx")
But this is not opening the lynx browser. I am able to open lynx from
the Debian command line and lynx is on the PATH.
When I do :
browseURL("http://www.google.com")
it does open up the url in Firefox.
When I do ?browseURL it says:
If ?browser? supports remote control and R knows how to
perform it, the URL is opened in any already-running browser
or a new one if necessary. This mechanism currently is
available for browsers which support the ?"-remote
openURL(...)"? interface (which includes Mozilla and Opera),
Galeon, KDE konqueror (_via_ kfmclient) and the GNOME
interface to Mozilla. (Firefox has dropped support, but
defaults to using an already-running browser.) Note that the
type of browser is determined from its name, so this
mechanism will only be used if the browser is installed under
its canonical name.
How can I find out if the -remote openURL interface is supported by lynx?
Thank you,
Ashim
