It seems to be included only because links/lynx didn't appear to work a while ago when building under WIndows. If that is no longer true then I think we can just remove it with no loss of functionality? Other suggestions, alternatives, etc welcome of course.Have it installed during setup on Windows?That might be sufficient. We carry one small delta vs upstream (r27040) and upstream has changed somewhat since we originally imported it. If the upstream version is still suitable, and they're willing to take our patch, then installing it during setup seems a simple solution.
I originally added it to tools because there isn't a standard, ubiquitous way to convert HTML to text *anywhere*, not just Windows. I'm OK with downloading it dynamically. BTW, it looks like it was written by Aaron Swartz, who sadly passed away in January. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
