Hi Ben, Sorry about that, specifying format with an URL either changed or I misunderstood when it was explained to me! I will remove the text saying the "format" command-line option can be used with an URL. I personally have only used the suffix method with an URL. In the meanwhile, Eric is looking up some things and will be responding further. Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

You can put the word "download" in the "a href" tag to specify it is file for download rather than to show... for example, see link to "test.cxc" in this page, as well as its source: <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/home/meng/t1.html>
Maybe I wasn't clear here but I am running these commands from the ChimeraX command line (or putting them in a .cxc file). I am not writing a web page. That 'test.cxc' you reference opens PDB IDs, not https: URLs.
Maybe you are looking at Chimera help?
No, I'm looking at help:user/commands/open.html#url in the ChimeraX browser.
