ELINKS.CONF(5) ELinks configuration file ELINKS.CONF(5)NAMEelinks.conf - ELinks configuration file
SYNOPSIS
set "<option>" = <value>
unset "<option>" = <value>
bind "<keymap>" "<key>" = "<action>"
include "<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 elinkskeys(5).
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 \e\*(lq%s\e\*(rq"
OPTIONS
bookmarks
Bookmark options.
bookmarks.file_format <num> (default: 0)
File format for bookmarks (affects both reading and saving):
· 0: is the default native ELinks format
· 1: is XBEL universal XML bookmarks format (NO NATIONAL CHARS
SUPPORT!)
bookmarks.folder_state [0|1] (default: 1)
When saving bookmarks also store whether folders are expanded or
not, so the look of the bookmark dialog is kept across ELinks
sessions. If disabled all folders will appear unexpanded next
time ELinks is run.
config Configuration handling options.
config.comments <num> (default: 3)
Amount of comments automatically written to the config file:
· 0: is no comments are written
· 1: is only the "blurb" (name+type) is written
· 2: is only the description is written
· 3: is full comments are written
config.indentation <num> (default: 2)
Shift width of one indentation level in the configuration file.
Zero means that no indentation is performed at all when saving
the configuration.
config.saving_style <num> (default: 3)
Determines what happens when you tell ELinks to save options:
· 0: is only values of current options are altered
· 1: is values of current options are altered and missing
options are added at the end of the file
· 2: is the configuration file is rewritten from scratch
· 3: is values of current options are altered and missing
options CHANGED during this ELinks session are added at the
end of the file
config.i18n [0|1] (default: 0)
If set to 1, comments in the configuration file will be trans‐
lated to the language used by UI. Note that if you have differ‐
ent language set in different terminals, the language used in
the configuration file MAY be the same as on the terminal where
you saved the file, but it should be generally considered unpre‐
dictable.
config.saving_style_w [0|1] (default: 0)
This is internal option used when displaying a warning about
obsolete config.saving_style. You shouldn't touch it.
config.show_template [0|1] (default: 0)
Show template options in autocreated trees in the options man‐
ager and save them to the configuration file.
connection
Connection options.
connection.ssl
SSL options.
connection.ssl.client_cert
X509 client certificate options.
connection.ssl.client_cert.enable [0|1] (default: 0)
Enable or not the sending of X509 client certificates to servers
which request them.
connection.ssl.client_cert.file <str> (default: "")
The location of a file containing the client certificate and
unencrypted private key in PEM format. If unset, the file
pointed to by the X509_CLIENT_CERT variable is used instead.
connection.ssl.cert_verify [0|1] (default: 0)
Verify the peer's SSL certificate. Note that this needs exten‐
sive configuration of OpenSSL by the user.
connection.async_dns [0|1] (default: 1)
Whether to use asynchronous DNS resolving.
connection.max_connections <num> (default: 10)
Maximum number of concurrent connections.

Maximum number of concurrent connections to a given host.
connection.receive_timeout <num> (default: 120)
Receive timeout (in seconds).
connection.retries <num> (default: 3)
Number of tries to establish a connection. Zero means try for‐
ever.
connection.try_ipv4 [0|1] (default: 1)
Whether to try to connect to a host over IPv4. Note that if con‐
nection.try_ipv6 is enabled too, it takes precedence. And better
do not touch this at all unless you are sure what are you doing.
Note that you can also force a given protocol to be used on a
per-connection basis by using an URL in the style of i.e.
http4://elinks.or.cz/.
connection.try_ipv6 [0|1] (default: 1)
Whether to try to connect to a host over IPv6. Note that you can
also force a given protocol to be used on a per-connection basis
by using an URL in the style of i.e. http6://elinks.or.cz/.

given number of days
cookies.paranoid_security [0|1] (default: 0)
When enabled, we'll require three dots in cookies domain for all
non-international domains (instead of just two dots). Some coun‐
tries have generic second level domains (eg. .com.pl, .co.uk)
and allowing sites to set cookies for these generic domains
could potentially be very bad. Note, it is off by default as it
breaks a lot of sites.
cookies.save [0|1] (default: 1)
Whether cookies should be loaded from and save to disk.
cookies.resave [0|1] (default: 1)
Save cookies after each change in cookies list? No effect when

use the ACCESSKEY attribute to assign an access key to an ele‐
ment. When an access key is pressed, the corresponding element
will be given focus.
document.browse.accesskey.auto_follow [0|1] (default: 0)
Automatically follow a link or submit a form if appropriate
accesskey is pressed - this is the standard behaviour, but it's
considered dangerous.
document.browse.accesskey.display [0|1] (default: 0)
Display access key in link info.
document.browse.accesskey.priority <num> (default: 0)

Default form input size if none is specified.
document.browse.forms.insert_mode [0|1] (default: 1)
The setting for this option affects how key presses are handled
when one selects a text-input form-field. When enabled, one must
explicitly 'enter' a selected text-field to edit it; this pre‐
vents text fields from capturing key presses, such as presses of
a scroll key, when it is inadvertently selected. When disabled,
key presses are always inserted into a selected text field.
document.browse.forms.editor <str> (default: "")
Path to the executable that ELinks should launch when the user
requests to edit a textarea with an external editor. If this is

Start typeahead searching when an unbound key is pressed without
any modifiers. Note that most keys have default bindings, so
this feature will not be useful unless you unbind them.

1 automatically starts typeahead searching thru link text 2
automatically starts typeahead searching thru all document text
document.browse.margin_width <num> (default: 3)
Horizontal text margin.
document.browse.refresh [0|1] (default: 1)
Automatically follow document-specified refresh directives
(<meta> refresh tags). Web-page authors use these to instruct
the browser to reload a document at a given interval or to load
another page. Regardless of the value the refresh URI is acces‐
sible as a link. Use the document.browse.minimum_refresh_time to
control the minimum number of seconds a refresh will wait.
document.browse.minimum_refresh_time <num> (default: 1000)
The minimum number of milliseconds that should pass before

unchanged. It can fix going back in history for some sites that
use refreshing with zero values.
document.browse.table_move_order [0|1] (default: 0)
Move by columns in table, instead of rows.
document.cache
Cache options.
document.cache.format
Format cache options.
document.cache.format.size <num> (default: 5)
Number of cached formatted pages. Do not get too generous here,
'formatted' means that all the accompanying structures are kept
in memory so that you get the cached document immediatelly, but
these structures may take a lot - 2x the size of the HTML source
is probably not unusual, but it can be even more if the document
consists of a lot of short lines (padded right, if possible) and
links and not much other markup. So if you set this to 256 and
then you don't like your ELinks eating 90M, don't come complain‐
ing to us. ;-) Also note that the format cache itself is not
counted to the memory cache size, but the HTML source of the
formatted documents is always cached, even if it is over the
memory cache size threshold. (Then of course no other documents
can be cached.)
document.cache.memory
Memory cache options.
document.cache.memory.size <num> (default: 1048576)
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 behav‐
iour for a quite some time, but it causes problems in a situa‐
tion very common to various web login systems - frequently, 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 combi‐
nation 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.codepage
Charset options.
document.codepage.assume <codepage> (default: System)
Default document codepage. 'System' stands for a codepage deter‐
mined by a selected locale.
document.codepage.force_assumed [0|1] (default: 0)
Ignore charset info sent by server.
document.colors
Default document color settings.
document.colors.text <color|#rrggbb> (default: gray75)
Default text color.
document.colors.background <color|#rrggbb> (default: black)
Default background color.
document.colors.link <color|#rrggbb> (default: blue)

Default image link color.
document.colors.bookmark <color|#rrggbb> (default: hotpink)
Default bookmarked link color.
document.colors.dirs <color|#rrggbb> (default: yellow)
Default directory color. See document.browse.links.color_dirs
option.
document.colors.increase_contrast [0|1] (default: 1)
Increase the contrast between the foreground and background col‐
ors to ensure readability. For example it disallows dark colors
on a black background. Note, this is different from ensuring the
contrast with the ensure_contrast option.
document.colors.ensure_contrast [0|1] (default: 1)
Makes sure that the back- and foreground color are never equal.
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
mostly look very impressive, but some sites will appear
really ugly. Note, that obviously if the background is not
black, it will break the behaviour of transparency.
document.css
Options concerning how to use CSS for styling documents.
document.css.enable [0|1] (default: 1)
Enable adding of CSS style info to documents.
document.css.import [0|1] (default: 1)

using <link> tags in the document header will also be down‐
loaded.
document.css.stylesheet <str> (default: "")
The path to the file containing the default user defined Cascad‐
ing Style Sheet. It can be used to control the basic layout of

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 concerned 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(3) is called, breaking atomicity,
and reducing reliability of this feature.
infofiles.secure_save_fsync [0|1] (default: 1)

The search path for mime.types files. Colon-separated list of
files.
mime.type
Handler <-> MIME type association. The first sub-tree is the
MIME class while the second sub-tree is the MIME type (ie.

Handler matching this MIME-type name ('*' is used here in place
of '.').

The maximum port to try and listen on.
protocol.bittorrent.tracker
Tracker options.
protocol.bittorrent.tracker.compact [0|1] (default: 0)
Whether to request that the tracker returns peer info in compact
format. Note, the compact format only supports IPv4 addresses.
protocol.bittorrent.tracker.interval <num> (default: 0)
The number of seconds to wait between periodically contacting
the tracker for announcing progress and requesting more peers.
Set to zero to use the interval requested by the tracker.
protocol.bittorrent.tracker.ip_address <str> (default: "")
What IP address to report to the tracker. If set to "" no IP
address will be sent and the tracker will automatically deter‐
mine an appropriate IP address.
protocol.bittorrent.tracker.key <str> (default: "")
An additional identification that is not shared with any users.
It is intended to allow a client to prove their identity should
their IP address change. It is an optional parameter, but some
trackers require this parameter. If set to "" no user key will
be sent to the tracker.
protocol.bittorrent.tracker.numwant <num> (default: 50)
The maximum number of peers to request from the tracker. Set to
0 to use the server default.
protocol.bittorrent.tracker.min_skip_size <num> (default: 20)
The minimum number of peers to have in the current peer info
pool before skipping requesting of more peers. I.e. setting
numwant to zero. Set to 0 to not have any limit.
protocol.bittorrent.peerwire
Lowlevel peer-wire options.
protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.connections <num> (default: 55)
The maximum number of allowed connections to both active and
non-active peers. By increasing the number of allowed connec‐
tions, the chance of finding good peers to download from is
increased. However, too many connections can lead to TCP conges‐
tion. If the maximum is reached all new incoming connections
will be closed.
protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.max_message_length <num> (default:
8388608)
The maximum length of messages to accept over the wire. Larger
values will cause the connection to be dropped.
protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.max_request_length <num> (default:
8388608)
The maximum length to allow for incoming requests. Larger
requests will cause the connection to be dropped.
protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.request_length <num> (default: 16384)
How many bytes to query for per request. This is complementary
to the max_request_length option. If the configured length is
bigger than the piece length it will be truncated.
protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.timeout <num> (default: 300)
The number of seconds to wait before closing a socket on which
nothing has been received or sent.
protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.pool_size <num> (default: 55)
Maximum number of items in the peer pool. The peer pool contains
information used for establishing connections to new peers. Set
to 0 to have unlimited size.

The maximum amount of memory used to hold recently downloaded
pieces. Set to 0 to have unlimited size.
protocol.bittorrent.max_uploads <num> (default: 7)
The maximum number of uploads to allow at once.
protocol.bittorrent.min_uploads <num> (default: 2)
The minimum number of uploads which should at least be used for
new connections.
protocol.bittorrent.request_queue_size <num> (default: 5)
How many piece requests to continuously keep in queue. Pipelin‐
ing of requests is essential to saturate connections and get a
good connection performance and thus a faster download. However,
a very big queue size can lead to wasting bandwidth near the end
of the connection since remaining piece blocks will be requested
from multiple peers.
protocol.bittorrent.choke_interval <num> (default: 10)
The number of seconds between updating the connection state and
most importantly choke and unchoke peer connections. The choke
period should be big enough for newly unchoked connections to
get started but small enough to not allow freeriders too much
room for stealing bandwidth.
protocol.bittorrent.rarest_first_cutoff <num> (default: 4)
The number of pieces to obtain before switching piece selection
strategy from random to rarest first.
protocol.bittorrent.allow_blacklist [0|1] (default: 1)

day!
protocol.file.show_hidden_files [0|1] (default: 1)
When set to false, files with name starting with a dot will be
hidden in local directories listing.
protocol.file.try_encoding_extensions [0|1] (default: 1)
When set, if we can't open a file named 'filename', we'll try to
open 'filename' with some encoding extension appended (ie.
'filename.gz'); it depends on the supported encodings.
protocol.fsp
FSP specific options.
protocol.fsp.sort [0|1] (default: 1)
Whether to sort entries in directory listings.
protocol.ftp
FTP specific options.
protocol.ftp.proxy

Allow blacklisting of buggy servers.
protocol.http.bugs.broken_302_redirect [0|1] (default: 1)
Broken 302 redirect (violates RFC but compatible with Netscape).
This is a problem for a lot of web discussion boards and the
like. If they will do strange things to you, try to play with
this.
protocol.http.bugs.post_no_keepalive [0|1] (default: 0)
Disable keepalive connection after POST request.
protocol.http.bugs.http10 [0|1] (default: 0)
Use HTTP/1.0 protocol instead of HTTP/1.1.
protocol.http.proxy
HTTP proxy configuration.
protocol.http.proxy.host <str> (default: "")
Host and port-number (host:port) of the HTTP proxy, or blank. If
it's blank, HTTP_PROXY environment variable is checked as well.
protocol.http.proxy.user <str> (default: "")
Proxy authentication username.
protocol.http.proxy.passwd <str> (default: "")
Proxy authentication password.
protocol.http.referer
HTTP referer sending options. HTTP referer is a special header
sent in the HTTP requests, which is supposed to contain the pre‐
vious page visited by the browser. This way, the server can know
what link did you follow when accessing that page. However, this
behaviour can unfortunately 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 (this also affects naviga‐
tor.language ECMAScript value available to scripts). Note that
some see this as a potential security risk because it tells
web-masters and the FBI sniffers about your language preference.
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-%b)")
Change the User Agent ID. That means identification string,
which is sent to HTTP server when a document is requested. The
'textmode' token in the first field is our silent attempt to
establish this as a standard for new textmode user agents, so
that the webmasters can have just a single uniform test for
these if they are ie. pushing some lite version to them automag‐
ically. %v in the string means ELinks version %s in the string
means system identification %t in the string means size of the
terminal %b in the string means number of bars displayed by
ELinks Use " " if you don't want any User-Agent header to be
sent at all.
protocol.https
HTTPS-specific options.
protocol.https.proxy
HTTPS proxy configuration.
protocol.https.proxy.host <str> (default: "")
Host and port-number (host:port) of the HTTPS CONNECT proxy, or
blank. If it's blank, HTTPS_PROXY environment variable is
checked as well.

Used when resolving news: URIs. If set to the empty string the
value of the NNTPSERVER environment variable will be used.
protocol.nntp.header_entries <str> (default: "Subject,From,Date,Mes‐
sage-ID,Newsgroups")
Comma separated list of which entries in the article header to
show. E.g. 'Subject' and From. All header entries can be read in
the header info dialog.
protocol.rewrite
Rules for rewriting URIs entered in the goto dialog. It makes it
possible 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, meaning that they work only like URI abbreviations, or
smart ones, making it possible to pass arguments to them like
search engine keywords.
protocol.rewrite.dumb
Dumb prefixes, see enable-dumb description for details.
protocol.rewrite.dumb._template_ <str> (default: "")
Replacement URI for this dumbprefix: %c in the string means the
current URL %% in the string means '%'
protocol.rewrite.smart
Smart prefixes, see enable-smart description for details.
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 smart‐
prefix %0,%1,...,%9 means argument 0, 1, ..., 9 %% in the string
means '%'
protocol.rewrite.default_template <str> (default: "")
Default URI template used when the string entered in the goto
dialog does not appear to be a URI or a filename (i.e. contains
no '.', : or / characters), and does not match any defined pre‐
fixes. Set the value to "" to disable use of the default tem‐
plate rewrite rule.
protocol.rewrite.enable-dumb [0|1] (default: 1)
Enable dumb prefixes - simple URI abbreviations which can be
written to the Goto URL dialog instead of actual URIs - i.e. if
you write 'elinks' there, you are directed to http://elinks.cz/.
protocol.rewrite.enable-smart [0|1] (default: 1)
Enable smart prefixes - URI templates triggered by writing given
abbreviation to the Goto URL dialog followed by a list of argu‐
ments from which the actual URI is composed - i.e. 'gg:search
keywords' or gn search keywords for news.
protocol.smb
SAMBA specific options.
protocol.smb.credentials <str> (default: "")
Credentials file passed to smbclient via -A option.
protocol.user
User protocols. Options in this tree specify external handlers
for the appropriate protocols. Ie. protocol.user.mailto.unix.
protocol.user._template_
Handler (external program) for this protocol. Name the options
in this tree after your system (ie. unix, unix-xwin).
protocol.user._template_._template_ <str> (default: "")
Handler (external program) for this protocol and system. %f in
the string means file name to include form data from %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
protocol.no_proxy <str> (default: "")
Comma separated list of domains for which the proxy (HTTP/FTP)
should be disabled. Optionally, a port can be specified for some
domains as well. If it's blank, NO_PROXY environment variable is
checked as well.

· 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.

Restrict the characters used when drawing lines. Makes sense
only with linux terminals using the cp850/852 character sets.
terminal._template_.block_cursor [0|1] (default: 0)
Move cursor to bottom right corner when done drawing. This is
particularly useful when we have a block cursor, so that
inversed text is displayed correctly.

The color mode controls what colors are used and how they are
output to the terminal. The color modes are:
· 0: is mono mode, only 2 colors are used
· 1: is 16 color mode, uses the common ANSI colors
· 2: is 256 color mode, uses XTerm RGB codes
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.
terminal._template_.underline [0|1] (default: 0)
If we should use underline or enhance the color instead.
