It does work without JS. For elinks, try pressing the backslash key.



captn3m0 is right. It does not. Chrome renders it as a long but entirely blank page.


It works with elinks. When the page is loaded, press backslash key (view page source). See below for sample.

I dont use Chrome. Cant comment on that.

   # Hello, and welcome to DNS!

   This series of documents attempts to provide a correct introduction to the
   Domain Name System as of 2018.  The original RFCs remain the authoritative
   source of normative text, but this document tries to make this venerable
   protocol more accessible, while maintaining full alignment with all relevant
   and useful RFCs.


If you have to view the source to even see anything with elinks, then "it works" is not a correct description.


You see something before hitting backslash. I guess you didnt even bother to try it? Why are you even commenting then? When you hit backslash it simply changes the formatting, making what you see easier to read. If I can read the content as text, then it works. Its a text-only browser. Its for reading text, not executing Javascript.

If I recall correctly many years ago on the djbdns mailing list djb said you did not know what you are talking about or something to that effect. At the time I thought maybe he was being a little harsh. As usual, he was right. You are annoying.
