Ouch. I would be thankful for any patches that allowed the use of Wget/SSL on non-Linux systems. (I know next to nothing about SSL myself.)

Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED] ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Is Wget available via CVS somewhere or should patches be against 1.7? See http://sunsite.dk/wget/wgetdev.html - I guess patches against 1.7 are fine, as the current difference to CVS is almost NULL.

When I installed OpenSSL 0.9.6a using the default configure options, it didn't make any shared libraries, but I have libssl.a and libcrypto.a installed, and wget's configure process does find them. (Do I need to install the shared libraries?) For example, I can connect to https://www.apache-ssl.org/ in Netscape just fine, but here's what happens when I try with wget 1.7: [... debug output removed ...] Not surprising.

Note that we have added such support to other programs and will hopefully get time soon to do it to wget. cURL already has support for EGD/PRNGD so we're just going to steal their solution. -- albert chin ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
