Everything is inacessible in text-only browsers #172

Open Gankra opened 9 years ago

Gankra commented 9 years ago

Tested in elinks from brew:

basically works with noscript

https://www.rust-lang.org/ - SSL error
https://doc.rust-lang.org/ - Bad HTTP response
https://internals.rust-lang.org/ - After a couple minutes of downloading a few kb/s - error reading from socket
https://users.rust-lang.org/ - ditto
Doesn't even work with noscript (but does, you know, render something)
https://crates.io - What would you like to do with the file (type: application/json)?

Is... this a bug? Sounds like this is working as intended...

Gankra commented 9 years ago

@alexcrichton I can't tell if you're joking or not

alexcrichton commented 9 years ago

I'm semi-joking, but I personally don't see the benefit in investing time to get text-only browsers working.

alexcrichton commented 9 years ago

Ah @Gankro cleared up my confusion that this is not solely meant for those who prefer to surf the web from a terminal, but rather this enables many accessibility programs to "Just Work" on many sites, which I'm more than ok with!
