There will be much more people complaining that they won't be able to connect to a lot of web sites anymore once more web sites/servers have finally abandoned SSL3.0, as a lot of older browsers simply can't handle the newer cyphers required for an https connection...

On the matter of browsers for DOS, Lynx, which I am using now, supports https and has done so for 10+ years. What is not available in any DOS browser is javascript. Much of javascript in web pages is to load and reload advertising, which I don't miss at all. However, the (action) in many html forms nowadays is not a remote URL but a local javascript, that checks and reformats the data before submitting it to the remote. This is where I really miss javascript support. JAS -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
