Which SSL is links using?

[Avoi...@gmail.com]

This is still about gmail:smtp TLS/SSL.

`links gmail.com` shows me the traces while it's 'doing SSL'.
So that means my system HAS a working SSL system.

`apropos ssl | wc -l` == 290 Plenty stuff !!
That's why I refuse to "buy yourself a ding-dong".

`pstree` shows a ssh. I don't think that's it.
I don't know ssl and I suspect most others just mouth the words.

Is there some way to 'capture a trace' of what processes `links`
used? Or what?

== TIA

Thank you for sharing this excellent advice.

I am sure all readers of these news groups support your most
commendable, resolute, and steadfast decision not to buy yourself
a ding-dong.

Perhaps this could be the start of a new popular movement
which will sweep the masses and ding-dongs will finally
disappear from the stores because of a mass boycott.

Have you ever considered running for public office on a
platform to outlaw ding-dongs?

Over here in Belgium, a "ding-dong" is a generic nickname for a kind of
doorbell which makes a sound like, uhh, "ding dong!". ;-)

Competent people would use strace or read the source code. You should
probably just give up and buy some Ding-Dongs.

FWIW, links would not spawn an ssh process to create an SSL link to
a remote web server. Rather, links is linked to the ssl libraries so
that it can create a secure session itself.

Is ssh unrelated to SSL?
I'll kill ssh and see if links still works, without ssh restarting?
