(Bash) Howto run Tidy from the command line - noah

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 12:41:54 GMT

This shell command will retrieve a Web page and validate the HTML with [Tidy, the HTML linter from the W3](http://tidy.sourceforge.net/). You can get an **XHTML validation** report right in your shell prompt, just like you'd get from the [Firefox extension](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/249) or the [Web service.](validator.w3.org/). It's especially helpful when you need to **validate HTML on your intranet, or behind a firewall.** ### **NOTE: Curl does not follow redirects by default!** By default, Curl retrieves *exactly* the URL you specify. The `-L` option causes Curl to follow redirects just like a Web browser would. ### **NOTE: Tidy produces a lot of output!** Windows users should make sure their [command prompt screen buffer height is set to 9999](http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000334.html 'command prompt tips from Coding Horror') so that you don't "lose" any output. ### **Explanation of the command line options** `curl -L` tells Curl to fo**LL**ow HTTP redirects `curl -s` **S**uppresses Curl's annoying progress bar `tidy -e` tells Tidy not to **E**mit the tidied HTML to the console `tidy -q` tells Tidy to be **Q**uiet, instead of printing extra crap at the bottom of the report ### **Dependencies** Curl and Tidy are installed via the [Cygwin setup.exe](http://cygwin.com/) Alternately, Perl hackers could use [lwp-request](http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/libwww-perl-5.808/bin/lwp-request). ### **Doing more** [Validate HTML with a stricter algorithm,](http://snipplr.com/view/4130/check-linked-pages-for-tidy-validation-errors-on-the-command-line/) using the OpenJade SGML parser. [Validate linked pages](http://snipplr.com/view/4130/check-linked-pages-for-tidy-validation-errors-on-the-command-line/) with Tidy and lwp-request.

(Bash) Cygwin: recursive copy with ACLs - deepsoul

Cygwin's `cp` discards ACLs (complex windoze permissions). You have to copy them separately as follows:

(Bash) Validate XHTML with Tidy and/or OpenJade, just like the FF extension - noah

Neither command will give any feedback unless invalid markup is found.

(Bash) rsync backup directory - noah

The --delete switch causes files that have been deleted from the source directory, to also be deleted from the target directory.

(Bash) wget with username and password - noah

Tue, 22 May 2007 11:08:00 GMT

This is how to connect to a secure site with wget. The Cygwin manpage is quite confusing on this issue.

(Bash) Check cygwin apps for base conflicts - gtcaz

Thu, 08 Mar 2007 16:42:37 GMT

From: "Pierre A. Humblet" The attached script takes the name of a .exe or .dll, uses cygcheck to find the dll dependence and checks for conflicts. This will allow you to check your favorite applications or dlls, seeing if --enable-auto-image-base works for you. A "conflict" is when the end of a dll overlaps the start of the next one. A "guard conflict" includes the extra 0x10000 mentioned by Jason in this thread. They occur with Windows dlls, not sure if that's a real issue. I have extended the tool (attached) so that it takes a variable number of arguments. You can check a program and all the dll's it might ever load dynamically, or all the dll's in /bin, or whatever. cygcheck will search the PATH if necessary.
