ELINKS.CONF(5) ELINKS.CONF(5)
NAME
elinks.conf - ELinks configuration file
DESCRIPTION
The elinks.conf file contains configuration information for ELinks.
It can be used to configure the behaviour of ELinks in a wide variety
of ways: protocol behaviour, keybindings, colors used for rendering
and for the user interface.
It is read at startup and saved only when requested. All options
described in this document can be fully configured from within ELinks
so no editing of elinks.conf is needed.
Note that MIME-related options used for specifying handlers of various
MIME types are NOT described in this document. Documentation for these
options can be found at the ELinks homepage. Keybindings can also be
specified in elinks.conf. This is described in the elinkskeys(5) man
page.
SYNTAX
The syntax of the configuration file is very simple. The elinks.conf
file is a free-form ASCII text file. The file may contain extra tabs
and newlines for formatting purposes. Keywords in the file are case-
sensitive. Comments may be placed anywhere within the file (except
within quotes). Comments begin with the # character and end at the end
of the line.
EXAMPLES
Some sample settings:
# Use asynchronous DNS resolver?
set connection.async_dns = 1
# horizontal text margin.
set document.browse.margin_width = 3
# Default document codepage.
set document.codepage.assume = "ISO-8859-1"
# User defined protocol handlers
set protocol.user.mailto.unix = "mutt %h -s "%s""
OPTIONS

another page. Regardless of the value the refresh URI is
accessible as a link. Use the document.browse.mini-
mum_refresh_time to control the minimum number of seconds a
refresh will take.
document.browse.minimum_refresh_time <num> (default: 1000)
The minimum number of milliseconds that should pass before
refreshing. If set to zero the document refresh time is used
unchanged. It can fix going back in history for some sites that

Size of the virtual margin - when you click inside of that mar-
gin, document scrolls in that direction.

Memory cache size (in bytes).
document.cache.cache_redirects [0|1] (default: 0)
Cache even redirects sent by server (usually thru HTTP by a 302
HTTP code and a Location header). This was the original
behaviour for a quite some time, but it causes problems in a
situation very common to various web login systems - fre-
quently, when accessing certain location, they will redirect
you to a login page if they don’t receive an auth cookie, the
login page then gives you the cookie and redirects you back to
the original page, but there you have already cached redirect
back to the login page! If this option has value of 0, this
malfunction is fixed, but occasionally you may get superfluous
(depends on how you take it ;-) requests to the server. If this
option has value of 1, experienced users can still workaround
it by clever combination of usage of reload, jumping around in
session history and hitting ctrl+enter. Note that this option
is checked when retrieving the information from cache, not when
saving it to cache - thus if you will enable it, even previous
redirects will be taken from cache instead of asking the
server.
document.cache.ignore_cache_control [0|1] (default: 1)
Ignore Cache-Control and Pragma server headers. When set, the
document is cached even with ’Cache-Control: no-cache’.

document.colors.use_document_colors <num> (default: 2)
Use colors specified in document:
0 is use always the default settings
1 is use document colors if available, except background
2 is use document colors, including background. This can
look really impressive mostly, but few sites look really
ugly there (unfortunately including slashdot (but try to
let him serve you that ’plain’ version and the world
will suddenly become a much more happy place for life)).
Note that obviously if the background isn’t black, it
will break transparency, if you have it enabled for your
terminal and on your terminal.

Referer sending (protocol.http.referer)
HTTP referer sending options. HTTP referer is a special header sent in
the HTTP requests, which is supposed to contain the previous page vis-
ited by the browser. This way, the server can know what link did you
follow when accessing that page. However, this behaviour can unfortu-
nately considerably affect privacy and can lead even to a security
problem on some badly designed web pages.
protocol.http.referer.policy <num> (default: 3)
Mode of sending HTTP referer:
0 is send no referer
1 is send current URL as referer
2 is send fixed fake referer
3 is send previous URL as referer (correct, but insecure)
protocol.http.referer.fake <str> (default: "")
Fake referer to be sent when policy is 2.
protocol.http.accept_language <str> (default: "")
Send Accept-Language header.
protocol.http.accept_ui_language [0|1] (default: 1)
Request localised versions of documents from web-servers (using
the Accept-Language header) using the language you have config-
ured for ELinks’ user-interface. Note that some see this as a
potential security risk because it tells web-masters about your
preference in language.
protocol.http.trace [0|1] (default: 0)
If active, all HTTP requests are sent with TRACE as their
method rather than GET or POST. This is useful for debugging of
both ELinks and various server-side scripts --- the server only
returns the client’s request back to the client verbatim. Note
that this type of request may not be enabled on all servers.
protocol.http.user_agent <str> (default: "ELinks/%v (textmode; %s;
%t)")
Change the User Agent ID. That means identification string,
which is sent to HTTP server when a document is requested. %v
in the string means ELinks version %s in the string means sys-
tem identification %t in the string means size of the terminal
Use " " if you don’t want any User-Agent header to be sent at
all.
HTTPS (protocol.https)
HTTPS-specific options.
Proxy configuration (protocol.https.proxy)
HTTPS proxy configuration.

checked as well.
Mailcap (protocol.mailcap)
Options for mailcap support. (Deprecated. Please use mime.mailcap
instead)
URI rewriting (protocol.rewrite)
Rules for rewriting URIs entered in the goto dialog. It makes it pos-
sible to define a set of prefixes that will be expanded if they match
a string entered in the goto dialog. The prefixes can be dumb, mean-
ing that they work only like URI abbreviations, or smart ones, making
it possible to pass arguments to them like search engine keywords.
Dumb Prefixes (protocol.rewrite.dumb)
Dumb prefixes.
protocol.rewrite.dumb._template_ <str> (default: "")
Replacement URI for this dumbprefix. %c in the string means
the current URL %% in the string means ’%’
Smart Prefixes (protocol.rewrite.smart)
Smart prefixes.
protocol.rewrite.smart._template_ <str> (default: "")
Replacement URI for this smartprefix. %c in the string means
the current URL %s in the string means the whole argument to
smartprefix %0,%1,...,%9 means argument 0, 1, ..., 9 %% in the
string means ’%’
protocol.rewrite.enable-dumb [0|1] (default: 1)
Enable dumb prefixes.
protocol.rewrite.enable-smart [0|1] (default: 1)
Enable smart prefixes.
User protocols (protocol.user)
User protocols. Options in this tree specify external handlers for the
appropriate protocols. Ie. protocol.user.mailto.unix.
Template option folder (protocol.user._template_)
Handler (external program) for this protocol. Name the options in this
tree after your system (ie. unix, unix-xwin).

Handler (external program) for this protocol and system. %h in
the string means hostname (or email address) %p in the string
means port %d in the string means path (everything after the
port) %s in the string means subject (?subject=<this>) %u in
the string means the whole URL

should be disabled. Optionally, a port can be specified for
some domains as well. If it’s blank, NO_PROXY environment vari-

Terminal options.
Template option folder (terminal._template_)
Options specific to this terminal type (according to $TERM value).

Terminal type; matters mostly only when drawing frames and dia-
log box borders:
0 is dumb terminal type, ASCII art
1 is VT100, simple but portable
2 is Linux, you get double frames and other goodies
3 is KOI-8
4 is FreeBSD
terminal._template_.m11_hack [0|1] (default: 0)
Switch fonts when drawing lines, enabling both local characters
and lines working at the same time. Makes sense only with linux
terminal.

only the subset of UTF8 according to terminal codepage is used.

only with linux terminals using the cp850/852 character sets.

particularly useful when we have a block cursor, so that

output to the terminal. The color modes are:
0 is mono mode, only 2 colors are used

2 is 256 color mode, requires that xterm-256color TERM is
used
terminal._template_.transparency [0|1] (default: 1)
If we should not set the background to black. This is particu-
larly useful when we have a terminal (typically in some window-
ing environment) with a background image or a transparent back-
ground - it will be visible in ELinks as well. Note that this
option makes sense only when colors are enabled.

on the window titlebar.
secure_file_saving [0|1] (default: 1)
First write data to unique temporary file, then rename this
file upon successfully finishing this. Note that this relates
only to config files, not downloaded files. You may want to
disable it if you are using some exotic permissions for con-
cerned files. Secure file saving is automagically disabled if
file is symlink. Warning: some systems (ie. OS/2, Win32)
require that destination file doesn’t exist when rename() is
called, breaking atomicity, and reducing reliability of this
feature.
