Word-definitions on the command-line

Posted 09-30-2017 at 02:31 AM by Michael Uplawski
Updated 07-08-2021 at 11:24 AM by Michael Uplawski (Script with xpath or css, wording and commas.)

Updates:
  • 27.4.2020 - An expression which is appended as request-parameter to an URL (or other URI) must be encoded. The original script assumes that this has been done beforehand. At the end of this blog-entry, I show a ruby-script which does the encoding.
  • The curl command should be used with the option -L or --location. I noticed that Larousse reacts to my requests but a browser is redirected (“301 Moved Permanently”) to an URL, where the request-parameters are modified to include a

Posted 08-07-2017 at 04:00 PM by Michael Uplawski
Updated 08-20-2017 at 09:27 AM by Michael Uplawski (This works. The previous recipe did not... not always. Maybe. I guess...)

Howto use procmail to set up an autoresponder. But without sendmail

Make Sendmail == Exim, if you must.
