Browser that supports XML??


Hi guys,
Does anyone know of a TEXT BASED web browser that supports XML??? I need it with XML support to do DDNS update to my namecheap account using the URL method they describe (if any of you familiar with it).

Anyways, the bottom line is I need a TEXT BASED web browser that supports XML so that I can setup a cron job. I would appreciate any help.

I tried LYNX and it does not do the job ... My concern for XML is because of the following reason:

When I do the update using IE (on my windows box) the DDNS update is successful and the output I receive is the following in XML:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <interface-response>
<DomainRRP>E</DomainRRP>
<RegistrarHold>False</RegistrarHold>
<IP>63.152.72.153</IP>
<Command>SETDNSHOST</Command>
<Language>en</Language>
<ErrCount>0</ErrCount>
<ResponseCount>0</ResponseCount>
<MinPeriod>1</MinPeriod>
<MaxPeriod>10</MaxPeriod>
<Server>Reseller2</Server>
<Site>Namecheap</Site>
<IsLockable>True</IsLockable>
<IsRealTimeTLD>True</IsRealTimeTLD>
<TimeDifference>+03.00</TimeDifference>
<ExecTime>0.671875</ExecTime>
<Done>true</Done>
- <debug>
- <![CDATA[
]]>
</debug>
</interface-response>


HOWEVER, when I do the same URL update using lynx (on my fedora box) , it does nothing (NO OUTPUT) and the IP does not get updated at the other end. Therefore, I assume that I need a web browser that can parse the XML??


Any help would be greatly appreciated.. thanks in advance!

Not to be TOO rude or harsh, but did you do any Googling before you posted this?

I started w/ the crux of your Q -- "TEXT BASED web browser that supports XML" -- & w/ the proper application of double quotes, deletion, & order swapping found the A in about 5 iterations.

I won't post my search term, but I will be glad to critique any you care to post.
