Description Vasilis Lourdas 2009-10-17 11:30:57 UTC
Although I have set +ssl for lynx, it does not display SSL enabled pages. The error I get is "Alert!: This client does not contain support for HTTPS URLs."

emerge -vp lynx

Comment 1 Vasilis Lourdas 2009-10-17 16:41:41 UTC
Version 2.8.6-r2 does not exhibit the issue.
Comment 2 Wormo (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-10-26 05:28:40 UTC
Thanks for reporting this problem. It is definitely reproducible when USE flag gnutls is enabled, so I guess most people use openssl rather than gnutls. 

I have been poking through the lynx configure scripts to figure out how to make gnutls option work, but in the meantime you can get lynx ssl working by emerging with USE="ssl -gnutls".

Alert!: This client does not contain support for HTTPS URLs.

please fix this ASAP
Comment 4 martin holzer 2010-03-31 06:40:38 UTC
this is also for x86

lynx ebuild with '--enable-gnutls-compat'
Comment 6 Ivan Havlicek 2010-05-14 11:27:23 UTC
Hi,

As said in the ebuild file :
        # --with-gnutls and --with-ssl are alternatives,
        # the latter enabling openssl support so it should be
        # _not_ be used if gnutls ssl implementation is desired
for now, these two flags are exclusive !

Perhaps, there's a better way to solve that, I've tested on ~x86 with succes
to simply add '--enable-gnutls-compat' flag when gnutls use flag is on :

< myargs="$myargs --with-gnutls" # ssl implementation = gnutls
---
> myargs="$myargs --with-gnutls --enable-gnutls-compat" # ssl implementation = gnutls


As the current version is 2.8.8 you find in attachent my modified ebuild file for it...
Comment 7 Sylvain BERTRAND 2010-06-02 21:04:48 UTC
www-client/lynx-2.8.8_pre2  USE="bzip2 gnutls ipv6 nls unicode -cjk -ssl"

Still unable to browse HTTPS www sites.
Comment 8 Moritz Schlarb 2011-05-31 11:30:46 UTC
ATM, disabling gnutls and enabling ssl worked for me, although i have both of the libraries installed.
Comment 9 Tim Harder gentoo-dev 2011-09-15 09:30:37 UTC
Does this still occur in the latest versions in the tree? I can't reproduce it with 2.8.8_pre9 that I just added to CVS.

ping!
Comment 11 Tim Harder gentoo-dev 2012-05-28 21:37:07 UTC
Closing as obsolete since it should be fixed in 2.8.8_pre12.
