Re: [Lynx-dev] Help plz

It's possible you downloaded a lynx version that does not include secure socket layer support. Run lynx --version and you should get output such as: Lynx Version 2.9.0dev.9 (01 Aug 2021) libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 1.1.1t, ncurses 6.2.20200212(wide) Built on netbsd9.1 (Oct 27 2021 10:14

[Lynx-dev] A potential bug and some questions about TLS

Hello everyone! I was reading through some of the Lynx source code, and I have some questions about how Lynx handles TLS. Specifically, in HTTP.c:734, we see this snippet: if (status <= 0) { #if (SSLEAY_VERSION_NUMBER >= 0x0900) #if !defined(USE_GNUTLS_FUNCS) if (try_tls) {
