HTTX AWeb ARexx Interface

THE AUTHORS ARE IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT THESE PROGRAMS MAY CAUSE.

These files are included in HTTX distribution with explicit AmiTrix permission. Redistribution or modification are forbidden. If you improve these scripts just send me the new version.

With HTTX AWeb ARexx Interface you can use HTTX from AWeb to save (or print) HTML pages as text. You need at least AWeb 1.2b (demo). AWeb 1.4 (registered) or 2.0 (commercial) are recommended. You also need "requestfile" (standard system 3.x command, also works on 2.04) in C: directory. AWeb 2.1demo doesn't offer ARexx support.

How to install

Copy:

HTTX.awebrx
HTTXConfig.awebrx
HTTXprt.awebrx
HTTX <-- yes, also the HTTX executable!
httxrx.readme.html (for online help)

ALL to the AWeb/Plugins/HTTX directory.

AWeb 1.2b / 1.4 / 2.0

Load AWeb, go to the "Program 1: General" settings requester and set the "Allow Shell commands in links" option. This is required for HTTXConfig.awebrx.

AWeb 1.5 / 1.6 / 2.1 or better

Load AWeb, open "Network settings/Options" requester and set the "Allow Shell commands in links" option. This is required for HTTXConfig.awebrx.

Assign HTTX.awebrx, HTTXConfig.awebrx and HTTXprt.awebrx to three entries in the ARexx menu. You need registered or commercial version of AWeb to do this operation. With AWeb 1.2b you have to call any script via file requester (right Amiga key + shift + 1)
