My experience is that if you have an SSL-enabled lynx, some sites work while others insist you need Internet Explorer or Netscape. Others just use Javascript, making them useless. Some which have worked for me include the Slackware official web site and Universal Radio. I don't do a lot of online shopping, so don't know exactly what percentage of sites work and which do not. I just know that, like I said, some do and some don't. To check whether your Lynx has SSL support, type "lynx -version." It will talk about SSL and Openssl if it has it. Also, you need cooky support in a lot of cases since the sites use cookies to keep track of what you have in your "shopping cart." Most pre-built binaries now seem to have the needed support, but check if you have an older version of Linux.
