Hi,

NetSurf 1.2 won't load any page on Fedora 9, it just says "Opening page..." with the throbber animation running.

I think this is due to a change in libcurl 7.18.1 (http://curl.haxx.se/changes.html):

  - setting the CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION with libcurl built
    without OpenSSL now makes curl_easy_setopt() properly return
    failure

(Fedora 8 used libcurl 7.16, both Fedora packages appear to be built against NSS for SSL support).

If I comment out lines 614 and 615 of content/fetchers/fetch_curl.c it works correctly.

Without these lines access to HTTP and HTTPS sites seems to work fine so I'm not sure they're necessary. But I'm not a libcurl or SSL expert so maybe there's a very good reason for them?

Regards,

Leon...
