Hi folks,

ssl is there in Firefox and DIllo, but when I type
$ links < https://my.yahoo.com >

or other https site, I get:

Bad URL Syntax

Is this a bug in links' compilation or is ssl not compiled at all?

Then, I have the same problem for wget.

Any help appreciated

Code Sample

wget http://grimthing.com/downloads/links-hacked_030709-1_i386.deb&& sudo dpkg -i links-hacked_030709-1_i386.deb && links https://my.yahoo.com

I compiled that version of links and it has SSL in there.

Prego

Would you make a .dsl of that package, please?

And, would you make a .dsl of elinks with ssl support, please?

And, would you make a coffee, please? (optional)

Umm, no.  You can install it with dpkg.  elinks is available from the Debian repository `apt-get install elinks`.  And as far as the coffee bit goes, I don't think so
