Somewhat off-topic but related to the port:

It looks the project moved to Github too (link from http://kiza.kcore.de) and
has had 2 releases. The license has also been changed from GPL to GPLv3 in the
release 1.5.13.

Snownews does not have TLS support. Can't find the old homepage any
longer but they used to recommend using `wget -O- https://url' through
their (filter?) mechanism.



snownews doesn't support https

2018-11-30 Thread Solene Rapenne


snownews doesn't seem to work when using https url, the program returns an
error. Adding the http url for the same xml file was producing expected result. 
 

I tried a few https url and none work, and no issues when using http.

Found in ~/.snonews/error.log:
