Meta tags

[Colin Woods]

Hi,



I am looking to use the lynx browser as a console based dashboard client
which will display various system stats. Does the Lynx browser support the
metatag refresh in order for a page to automatically reload after a
specified period of time? Or is there an alternative way to automatically
refresh as page?



<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30">



The version I am using is:

Lynx Version 2.8.8dev.12 (22 Feb 2012)



Thanks for your help



Colin.

no - Lynx will not automatically reload the page.
Usually discussing this aspect adds in a url (same result).

It doesn't directly support this, but it might be possible to use
tools like 'expect' or 'kermit' to do this.
I have a kermit script that does a page refresh every 15 minutes to keep
a login session alive.
