Lynx & SSL

[Janina Sajka]

Wow. Not good.

Not sure when lynx began shipping with ssl, but it's been some time. It 
happened after the U.S. lifted restrictions on encryption technology 
exporting--and that was back in 1999, I think.

My lynx, which came via the Redhat 7.1.94 install is 2.8.4rev1. The lynx 
home page at www.lynx.browser.org lists 2.8.3 as current, and that should 
include ssl. What version do you have? Do:

	lynx --version
