Index of Subjects Is there any way that we can have the output directly displayed to screen, rather than funnelled through html? Also, we need to be able to stop it, if it gets stumped by a lot of dead hops. I thought lynx could start displaying data before waiting for the whole page. Did we lose that capability? or am I getting too used to Netscape :-(? I'll check out the new scripts and report back! +Ed On Tue, 18 Mar 1997, Andrew Dacey wrote: > On Mon, 17 Mar 1997, Edward Dyer wrote: > > > These comments are based on what happens on CCN, not frugal, but I assume > > the latter are based on the former. > > > > There is a corresponding script that gives access to host and traceroute, > > which is not totally functional. lynxcgi-bin/network > > > > Problems - The host function does not allow selection > > of type of records, or making the request of a specific nameserver. > > Ideally the first display could have the names of the nameservers made > > into live links to recall the script with two arguments - the script > > input variable, as before, followed by the NS hostname > > (i.e. it should generate, for example a link which would execute the > > command > > host -t any chebucto.ns.ca snoopy.ucis.dal.ca > > to get the particulars that snoopy knows about chebucto, and not just > > what happens to be in chebucto's cache.) > > I've added a new field to each part of the form to perform this > functionality.
