Re: connecting lynx up with ssl certificates

[PCSC Information Services <info () pcsage biz>]

From my experience you need to compile and install lynx specifically  
to enable SSL. In the default package SSL isn't included. FreeBSD  
ports (for example) have specific lynx versions delineating this  
difference. Given my limited experience with debian, I would also  
assume that they follow a similar paradigm, and instead would use the  
apt mechanism to download and install lynx-ssl.
