I'll add it.

(This is not  relevant to the original post so  I changed the Subject:

Is it BLFS policy  to include http links as well as  ftp links?  If so
then  the mutt  page should  also include  http links.   (Just replace
'ftp:' with 'http:' and wget downloads the file with no problem.)

Upstream changes their urls all the time.  It's hard to keep up.


Unfortunately I can't get https links to work:

   wget-1.19.1 complains:

     ERROR: no certificate subject alternative name matches
             requested host name ‘ftp.mutt.org’.

   curl-7.53.1 complains:

     curl: (51) SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target 
host name 'ftp.mutt.org'

However this may not be a BLFS  problem as I am building curl and wget
using BLFS instructions on top of a Debian Jessie system.

You have a certificate problem.

Our instructions for wget include --with-ssl=openssl. We also set up openssl to look for certificates in /etc/ssl/ca-bundle.crt and the directory /etc/ssl/certs/. We also have a separate process for installing the certs.

I do not know how Debian sets up they apps to find certificates.
