Hi,

I was trying to use ELinks (ver 0.11) on Fedora Core 5 system to
browse the Web. However I am encountering a problem whenever I try to
access sites which use SSL and HTTPS. eg., I can not log into GMail
although the http://mail.google.com/mail comes up. Similarly I can not
log into Yahoo Mail, Savannah, etc..

The error window that pops out reads something like:
"Unable to retrieve
proxy://172.16.20.2:3128/https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?... SSL
Error"
I am behind a SQUID proxy (172.16.20.2:3128), I have set the HTTP,
HTTPS, FTP proxy:port using the ELinks options menu item.

However does not seem to have any problem dealing with the above site.
However I like ELinks' rendering of web pages and hence would like to
use it more than Lynx.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,
Debarshi

[PS: Here is my ~/.elinks/elinks.conf. /etc/elinks.conf does not exist
in my case. :(]

## ELinks 0.11.0 configuration file

## This is ELinks configuration file. You can edit it manually,
## if you wish so; this file is edited by ELinks when you save
## options through UI, however only option values will be altered
## and missing options will be added at the end of file; if option
## is not written in this file, but in some file included from it,
## it is NOT counted as missing. Note that all your formatting,
## own comments and so on will be kept as-is.
##
## Obviously, if you don't like what ELinks is going to do with
## this file, you can change it by altering the config.saving_style
## option. Come on, aren't we friendly guys after all?
