My university account provides Lynx Version 2.8.3rel.1 . I use it to access the mobile version of Facebook at m.facebook.com . At first, it would only return compresses web pages with the *.gz extension. I would rename these to "fb.gz" and suspend lynx. At the command prompt, I enter "gunzip fb.gz" and rename the decompressed file, "mv fb fb.htm" so that lynx will render it as a web page. I then edit the web page inserting the base tag: "base href="https://m.facebook.com" />" at the top.<br /><br />All these steps, some which can be automated, had to be repeated for every action taken on Facebook.<br /><br />At first Facebook would not let me log in until I returned to the graphical version and asserted that, yes, I had intended to log in from an unknown site. After that, I had no problem logging in from lynx. For some unknown reason, at one point it sent back a login page that no longer returned compressed web pages, but live pages! I now can log in using lynx and pretty much use Facebook without too much fuss.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258926832554918041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1478030848346376035.post-83518964208677942622014-02-24T16:03:05.196+00:002014-02-24T16:03:05.196+00:00Jean, Thanks a lot.
