[Lynx-dev] lynx names saved files after the previous directory entry when there's no file name: Hooray! |

Some websites (washingtonpost.com and wirecutter, for
instance) have URIs that end in / -
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/11/13/america-first-woman-president-possible/
or https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/borax-for-laundry/ for
instance. Every other browser I've tried makes up a name for the
file. When I can't use lynx (washingtonpost.com no longer allows it;
I often use public computers, none of which have lynx.) I save files
to a flash drive, wrote a short utility to fix up their names.
Why doesn't everyone do this? Are they not smart enough? I
can't think of a good reason.
Sadly, multiple uses of duckduckgo have begun to request that
I answer a captcha.
