web

Simple graphical web browser for lightweight HTML pages. It shares document and image rendering infrastructure with reader where possible. Embedded and direct PNG, JPEG, GIF, and WebP images retain color on indexed-color displays; one-bit displays keep the grayscale decode and dither path. Direct MJPEG URLs are shown as live video using the same JPEG renderer.

Usage:

web http://host/
web https://host/path
web http://camera-host/camera.mjpeg

MJPEG playback uses a bounded 512 KiB assembly buffer and a single pending decoded frame. If decoding or display presentation falls behind the source, web drops the stale pending frame and keeps the newest one instead of growing latency or memory use. Reload, Back, Forward, and app exit cancel the active HTTP stream. The stream inherits the security properties of its URL; plain HTTP provides no encryption or peer authentication.

Controls:

• The top toolbar provides Back, Reload, and Forward. Pointer or touch presses activate the toolbar and open links or form controls directly.
• Left or b goes back, Right or f goes forward, and r reloads while retaining the current reading position.
• Up/Down or k/j scroll one rendered line. Page Up/Page Down, Home, and End provide larger movement.
• n or Tab selects the next link or form control; p selects the previous one. Selection stops at each end, and Enter activates it.
• Links and plain page text use the same font size. Links remain underlined, headings remain bold, and +/- or Ctrl++/Ctrl+- reflow page text through the same five zoom levels as Reader.
• Ctrl+F opens Find and F3 jumps to the next case-insensitive match in rendered page text, wrapping at the end.
• Esc or app-exit key exits.
