I've done a small patch (3 added code lines) to add TLS SNI (Server Name Indication) support to w3m, which is needed for name-based virtual hosts using https; have been running it for several weeks now with no more problems than before. As upstream seems dead (reaction on neither the SourceForge tracker nor the mailing list), it would be great if at least Debian would incorporate it (in unstable or experimental). ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgc1c2 1:6.8-1.1 conservative garbage collector for ii libgpm2 1.20.4-3.1 General Purpose Mouse - shared lib ii libncurses5 5.7+20081213-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime ii menu 2.1.41 generates programs menu for all me ii mime-support 3.44-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii w3m-img 0.5.2-2.1ss1 inline image extension support uti
