SSL Errors in Lynx

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is a known bug, and currently has no known fix.

I took a crack at the source several months ago to try to bypass it, but
there were too many candidates, and not enough time to pin it down, so I
left it for a future project.

Our admin here (Shellworld), I believe, talked to someone on the official
development team, and it is a known bug.
