Fink Folks,

I am trying to create a package for a very old bit of software.  It seems that 
the hosting original URL for download has an expired certificate.  This causes 
the fink download to fail when asked to download from the original URL.

So, in pushing the envelope I tried:
Source: --insecure https://ohse.de/uwe/releases/%n-%v.tar.gz

to put a source curl flag in the command.  However fink is careful to escape 
the embedded space and it doesn’t work.
curl --connect-timeout 30 -f -L -A 'fink/0.41.1' -O --insecure\ 
https://ohse.de/uwe/releases/lrzsz-0.12.20.tar.gz

Is there a flag for source curl commands for downloading?  How should I deal 
with the need for an insecure download.

For reference the software does X/Y/ZMODEM protocol for data transmission.  
Some old instruments need this for communication.

program lrzsz
Web site: https://ohse.de/uwe/software/lrzsz.html

Any advice on how to develop and test this?

-Scott
