DWB_SCHEME, DWB_COOKIES, DWB_USER_AGENT, DWB_PROXY and DWB_REFERER available which can
be used in a script, for example:
#!/bin/sh

ftp) xterm -e "ncftp ${DWB_URI}";;
*) xdg-open ${DWB_URI}

http://portix.bitbucket.org/dwb/api/ and dwb-js(7).

#!/bin/bash
# dwb: Control w
wget $DWB_URI
Popup an alert dialog:
#!/bin/bash
# dwb: Control h
echo "js window.alert('Hello world');" > ${DWB_FIFO}
Block requests from specific sites:
#!javascript
var block = [ new RegExp("https://example.org.*"), new RegExp("https://example.co.uk.*") ];
Signal.connect("resource", function(wv, frame, request) {
for (var i=0, l=block.length; i<l; ++i)
{
