Description Anssi 2011-03-13 10:49:28 UTC
www-client/lynx-2.8.8_pre5 does not enable --use-externs that allows external programs to be executed for viewing URLs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. unmask lynx 2.8.8_pre5 for ~amd64
2. emerge lynx
3. Configure lynx to utilize firefox for viewing URLs (see additional information)
4. Open a HTML page with lynx and navigate over a link
5. Press '.' to open URL in firefox


Actual Results:  
Lynx prints error message to console "key remapping of . to EXTERN_LINK failed" and does not open URL with firefox

Expected Results:  
Lynx opens link in a firefox browser (browser is started if it is not running)

Creating lynx user config file defined to open URLs using firefox by pressing '.' 

1. cp /etc/lynx.cfg to ~/.lynx.cfg
2. add following lines to end of the ~/.lynx.cfg


KEYMAP:.:EXTERN_LINK		# Run external program with current link
EXTERNAL:http:firefox %s &:TRUE
EXTERNAL:https:firefox %s &:TRUE
