1) Try instead, if your file is /home/somewhere/test.html:
   (line folded for mail)
 
   <lynxcgi://localhost/PATH/TO/gettidy.sh?/xxfile://localhost/home/
    somewhere/test.html> 

2) That's only for testing, and it should work with the script as it is.
   Then, after doing

     export xfile_proxy='lynxcgi://localhost/PATH/TO/gettidy.sh?/'
     export xxfile_proxy='lynxcgi://localhost/PATH/TO/gettidy.sh?/'

   before calling Lynx, access to

    <xfile://localhost/home/somewhere/test.html>
    <xxfile://localhost/home/somewhere/test.html>

   should automatically invoke the script on the local file.
