About doing the random number seed for ssl, I dug up what lynx does, and
it looks like it wouldn't be difficult to do something similar in wget.
It appears this code was written by Mark Mentovai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,

Hope it helps.

if(RAND_status()==0) {
char rand_file[256];
time_t t;
pid_t pid;
long l,seed;
t=time(NULL);
pid=getpid();
RAND_file_name((char *)&rand_file,256);
CTRACE((tfp,"HTTP: Seeding PRNG\n"));
if(rand_file!=NULL) {
/* Seed as much as 1024 bytes from RAND_file_name */
RAND_load_file(rand_file,1024);
}
/* Seed in time (mod_ssl does this) */
RAND_seed((unsigned char *)&t,sizeof(time_t));
/* Seed in pid (mod_ssl does this) */
RAND_seed((unsigned char *)&pid,sizeof(pid_t));
/* Initialize system's random number generator */
RAND_bytes((unsigned char *)&seed,sizeof(long));
srand48(seed);
while(RAND_status()==0) {
/* Repeatedly seed the PRNG using the system's random number generator until it
has been seeded with enough data */
l=lrand48();
RAND_seed((unsigned char *)&l,sizeof(long));
}
if(rand_file!=NULL) {
/* Write a rand_file */
RAND_write_file(rand_file);
}
}
