Lynx2-7-2 SSL Support

Lynx has HTTPS, SNEWS and CONNECT support via replacement files for the general distribution. It currently is based on the SSLeay crypto and SSL libraries, whose distribution and use are restricted by licenses and state and US laws and regulations as described in:

   Linkname: SSLeay: SSLeay and SSLapps FAQ
        URL: http://psych.psy.uq.oz.au/~ftp/Crypto/

The SSL hook replacement files are accessible to US citizens and permanent residents, and to Canadian citizens via:

   Linkname: North American Cryptographic Software Access
        URL: http://www.cryptography.org/

as lynx272ssleay.zip in that server's SSL subdirectory.

A daemon which can be used analogously to a proxy by a hookless Lynx image to handle the SSL protocol on the hookless image's behalf also is available, as edssl081a.tgz, in that subdirectory.
