/* External application support. This feature allows lynx to pass a given URL to an external program. It was written for three reasons. 1) To overcome the deficiency of Lynx_386 not supporting ftp and news. External programs can be used instead by passing the URL. 2) To allow for background transfers in multitasking systems. I use wget for http and ftp transfers via the external command. 3) To allow for new URLs to be used through lynx. URLs can be made up such as mymail: to spawn desired applications via the external command. See lynx.cfg for other info. */ #include #include #include #include #include #include #ifdef USE_EXTERNALS void run_external ARGS1(char *, c) { char command[1024]; lynx_html_item_type *externals2=0; if (externals == NULL) return; for(externals2=externals; externals2 != NULL; externals2=externals2->next) { if (externals2->command != 0 && !strncasecomp(externals2->name,c,strlen(externals2->name))) { char *cp; if(no_externals && !externals2->always_enabled) { HTUserMsg(EXTERNALS_DISABLED); return; } /* Too dangerous to leave any URL that may come along unquoted. * They often contain '&', ';', and '?' chars, and who knows * what else may occur. * Prevent spoofing of the shell. * Dunno how this needs to be modified for VMS or DOS. - kw */ #if defined(VMS) || defined(DOSPATH) || defined(__EMX__) sprintf(command, externals2->command, c); #else /* Unix: */ cp = quote_pathname(c); sprintf(command, externals2->command, cp); FREE(cp); #endif /* VMS */ if (*command != '\0') { HTUserMsg(command); stop_curses(); LYSystem(command); start_curses(); } return; } } return; } #endif /* USE_EXTERNALS */
