lynx w. https not working

[jhe...@nyx.net]

P. Gilmartin compiled a version of Lynx which handles SSL:
nyx/projects/pgilmart/bin/lynx .

More sites are using https URLs,not just the high security ones like
financial
sites.This has been a very useful browser,however no URLs are working on
it now.They all give an "unable to connect"response.

I am very appreciative of P. Gilmartin's effort in providing this better
browser,and I'm wondering if he or someone could fix it or maybe explain
here what the problem is.Thanks alot.

That instance of Lynx has been broken on nyx for several weeks now, though
it continues to work on nox. Were you trying to use nyx or nox?

I've built a new Lynx (2-8-2) in
/nyx/projects/pgilmart/test/bin/lynx

I announced it here shortly before the Great News Crash. Subject to
feedback, I'll ask Matthew (or should it be Terry?) to install it in
/usr/local/bin/lynx. (Or should I wait until other things stabilize?
