I need a linux command line web client that supports https://

Anyone have any links? I'm striking out with Google.

If you just meant text-based, not necessarily command-line, then lynx and links both support https.

Not the lynx that came with my Debian 2.2r1 CDs. I need to use the browser to connect to my cable modem and enable that network card. I can't get past the cable company with out it. Not even to update my version of lynx. lol

Oh, well you might be stuck then. There's a seperate package for lynx-ssl. You could always just spoof your old mac address.

 

[Chaotic42]

Bah, it doesn't work with lynx. It's one of those web pages that lynx just can't handle properly. Stupid Insight.

My ISP has a similar thing, I was surprised when lynx worked with it. Neener neener

I dont think lynx requires a separate package for SSL.... when I did linuxfromscratch, I just did "./configure --with-ssl" and it worked.

Debian commonly seperated packages with encryption from pacakges without, those that had an option had 2 packages made because of US export restrictions.

But lfs != debian. Debian generally splits up ssl versions of things in different packages, dev stuff in different packages, etc.

Actually I don't know. I would imagine it's just a compile-time option to link with ssl, so you should be able to go in and play with the build options and build an ssl-enabled one. But then you could just apt-get source links-ssl.

The source would be the same, you could build either package from that source.
