Hi!
I began investigating an issue with curl related to https urls complaining
about not having enough randomness:
https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS/net/curl/-/issues/1
I suspect that this is a problem related to OpenSSL... and might affect the web
browsers too, but I did not even tried.
I don't know if theses issues were known... not using much networking in the
past.
As you can see with curl 7.77 (latest being 7.84) the randomness issue
disappears but then show a problem with accepting certificates.
Which make me ask: What is the status of https with FreeDOS?
We don't package OpenSSL library... but it is coming from DJGPP project... as
far as I know.
Have you ever looked what resources it would take to support (Open)SSL
and https on DOS? Ever wondered why nobody is really bothering with
supporting older browsers and OS with TSL 1.2 or newer (which is
necessary to support today's certificates and associated encryption)?
Sorry, but this is something that very quickly gets out of scope for
(Free)DOS...
