Hi, lynx uses OpenSSL by default, and when GnuTLS support for broken operating systems was added later, it was done using some sort of wrapper.
I added the initial draft of the hostname validation code with wildcard support, the proper one for OpenSSL, but am glad for your links to better information how to really do it, as I did that out of a real need, with only basic OpenSSL-fu, so I’ll definitely review that code again. Would have been cool for you to report this on the mailing list, though… anyway, if you’ve got any more information someone who wants/needs to implement a validating SSL client should have, it would be very nice to point them out. Thanks! bye, //mirabilos -- Sometimes they [people] care too much: pretty printers [and syntax highligh- ting, d.A.] mechanically produce pretty output that accentuates irrelevant detail in the program, which is as sensible as putting all the prepositions in English text in bold font. -- Rob Pike in "Notes on Programming in C" _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
