Today, I successfully rebuilt and installed lynx2.9.0dev.7 with the --with-ssl option on 23 platforms; the only build failures were on old CentOS 5 systems that lack needed support libraries. I did not remember to use the --with-ssl option on my first round of automated builds, so I had to redo them with that option. Given that the Web world is rapidly moving to https:, rather than http:, connections by default, with major GUI browsers forcing that move, would it not make good sense for the next release of lynx to make --with-ssl the default, and allow --without-ssl as an option to suppress https support? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.
