[Lynx-dev] Re the ssl error:
Thanks for previous help with 'forbidden error', got it fixed. Is there a way to bypass the increasing number of sites enabling the 'ssl error:' statement as follows? ssl error: self signed certificate in certificate chain-continue? Which of course requires hitting 'enter' for every link to be accessed and more often now, requiring 2 or more returns to get to the page wanted. Yes LOL, it's annoying! Any way to get around it?

[Lynx-dev] LYNX BOOKSHARE
Hi, to whom is concerned with updating, just recently BOOKSHARE the books for the blind distrib org (bookshare.org) changed accessibility to SSL so that trying to access it from LYNX is now problematical. I just spoke to one of their tech staff and he said they'd done patches for all the popular browsers, but not LYNX and that nobody on their staff had the UNIX knowledge to make it usable. So I'm hoping that somebody from your group would contact them and get the info to make LYNX operable again. Thanks, look forward to hearing from you.

Re: [Lynx-dev] LYNX BOOKSHARE
I've been with BOOKSHARE since inception, am using what I believe to be the latest version of LYNX, 2.8.7 that has SSL support and which I've used successfully for BOOKSHARE and all other sites who have implemented SSL. Today's call to BOOKSHARE's tech, told me they've overhauled SSL to improve security and have updated access to all popular browsers a la Firefox etc., but not to LYNX, which had me repeating entries and never showed my account when it allegedly logged me in. The tech steered me to the link for my bookshare and that did reveal my account, and the tech said the login procedure would 'work' with differences which I haven't explored yet. And he said as LYNX was not in the loop of updates, that it might be prudent to email them as I did and see if they were aware of the BOOKSHARE changes. So was hoping a LYNX programmer would look into the 'problem' and and get LYNX back to where it was, as now searches do not produce results as they previously did and I won't bore you by being specific. Bottom line is IMO, LYNX as used with BOOKSHARE could use an examination by a programmer, and maybe a chat with one of BOOKSHARE's programmers. If there's a newer version of LYNX that addresses these problems, I'd appreciate info on it so I can update. Thanks.
