YubNub (the internet CLI) integration in the Mac OSX Safari browser...

The reference to "integrate YubNub with Apple's Safari browser" can never work! At least not on 10.3.9. The reason is explained in the link "line.at.infinity" provides as extra hint. Apearantly he did not read or test it!

Why?

The 1st reasons is because the length of the existing string has to be the same as the new one, this was not the case. The 2nd reason is that the first "%@" will be translated to www and the second %@ to "search", and eventually the third %@ is the actual search string.

ORIGINAL SAFARI STRING:

  
http://%@.google.com/%@?q=%@&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

NON WORKING REPLACEMENT from "line.at.infinity":

  
http://yubnub.org/parser/parse?command=%25@

Sollution:

This is a working string, it tested it myself and guarantee it works on my version of OSX...

   
http://%@%@.yubnub.org/parser/parse?command=%@

If you search for "man ls" it will be translated to "http://wwwsearch.yubnub.org/parser/parse?command=man+ls", the "wwwsearch" prepend is ignored.
