Apparently out of the box it does not do that. I just tried it and got an error saying that https was not supported. Do I have to change some configs to do this or do I have to rebuild the program?

* Re: Lynx & SSL Lynx & SSL Holmes, Steve @ ` Jacob Schmude ` Janina Sajka 1 sibling, 0 replies; 11+ messages in thread From: Jacob Schmude @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Hi You need to build a later version of lynx, one of the 2.8.4 betas for SSL. For some reason, it wasn't included in slackware, but I don't know why. I've got a package of lynx 2.8.4pre.2 with SSL for slackware 8.0. If anyone wants it, let me know.

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?

Bsd is another unix variant of which there are freebsd openbsd netbsd and bsdi. There might even be another that I do not know of. They use a lot of the same applications as found on most systems running gnu/linux. The kernels are very different however.

I guess I'll go look. The other item you asked about is probably mislabled. Do you actually mean FreeBSD? That's a variant of Berkeley Unix, so not linux but related.

Is free like linux but runs a different kernel which speakup will not work with so site help will be needed when doing an install of this one. Only plaid with it for a couple hours before I had to scrap the machine but what I saw it wasn't too different from linux. Things did seem to click along quite nicely with it.

I generally like slackware for structureal things but I do wonder about some of the versions of some of the included packages. They were pretty current on other things but I wonder if Lynx slips under the rug a bit or something. On Mon, 24 Sep 2001, Janina Sajka wrote: > Wow.

The Roswell distribution doesn't install it by default, though the rpm is there to easily remedy this. On Mon, 24 Sep 2001, Steve Holmes wrote: > Slak 8.0 comes with lynx 2.8.3rel1.
