The template configuration file lynx.cfg lists 233 configurable features. There are 142 command line options according to its help message. Lynx accepts configuration options from either command-line options or configuration files. Īs with conventional browsers, Lynx also supports browsing histories and page caching, both of which can raise privacy concerns. Lynx therefore supports cookie whitelisting and blacklisting, or alternatively cookie support can be disabled permanently. However, Lynx does support HTTP cookies, which can also be used to track user information. The speed benefits of text-only browsing are most apparent when using low bandwidth internet connections, or older computer hardware that may be slow to render image-heavy content.īecause Lynx does not support graphics, web bugs that track user information are not fetched, meaning that web pages can be read without the privacy concerns of graphic web browsers. Unlike most web browsers, Lynx does not support JavaScript, which many websites require to work correctly. Lynx is not inherently able to display various types of non-text content on the web, such as images and video, but it can launch external programs to handle it, such as an image viewer or a video player. Tables are formatted using spaces, while frames are identified by name and can be explored as if they were separate pages. Current versions support SSL and many HTML features. Features īrowsing in Lynx consists of highlighting the chosen link using cursor keys, or having all links on a page numbered and entering the chosen link's number.
In 1995, Lynx was released under the GNU General Public License, and is now maintained by a group of volunteers led by Thomas Dickey.
Foteos Macrides ported much of Lynx to VMS and maintained it for a time. Garrett Blythe created DosLynx in April 1994 and later joined the Lynx effort as well. Īs of July 2007 the support of communication protocols in Lynx is implemented using a version of lib Support for NNTP was added to lib In 1993, Montulli added an Internet interface and released a new version (2.0) of the browser. Beta availability was announced to Usenet on 22 July 1992. The web-based SSH supports all servers with configured SSH access, including Linux hosts, virtual machines, switches, routers, and firewalls.Lynx was a product of the Distributed Computing Group within Academic Computing Services of the University of Kansas, and was initially developed in 1992 by a team of students and staff at the university ( Lou Montulli, Michael Grobe and Charles Rezac) as a hypertext browser used solely to distribute campus information as part of a Campus-Wide Information Server and for browsing the Gopher space. If a node is managed by an additional polling engine, the session is opened from the additional polling engine to the device. The SSH session opens from the server that polls the node. You can use SSH commands to modify device settings and troubleshoot server issues. A web-based terminal launches providing an SSH direct terminal connection. On the Node Details page, locate the Management resource, and click SSH. You can access network devices and servers using SSH through a web-based feature. These applications are launched on the client, and so the network communication is initiated from the client that launched the tool. Launch remote access applications from Node Details widgets.
Navigate to the user account, and ensure Allow Browser Integration is set to Yes. To use the remote access applications, web browser integration for the user account must be enabled. The SolarWinds platform Web Console supports the use of HTTP, SSH, and Telnet protocols for remote device access if associated applications like PuTTy and FiSSH on your SolarWinds platform server are properly registered.įor more information, search the MSDN online help for "Registering an Application to a URI Scheme." To access nodes using protocols for remote device access, you can use in-product browser links to external third party tools using URIs, or use the built-in SSH client in the SolarWinds platform Web Console. This topic applies to all SolarWinds platform products.
