ks> Is there a way to use it with Lynx or Emacs-w3 ?
Yes, go to http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?group_id=53
I cut & pasted the link without thinking about the encryption. Sorry.
Assuming the problem is lack of ssl support rather than the disinclination to use shttp, some illegality problem, or whatever :
you could recompile lynx with shttp support, which it is quite capable of...
`lynx -version` of my last compile claims to be:
Lynx Version 2.8.3rel.1 (23 Apr 2000) libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4, OpenSSL 0.9.6
Try http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~jeffwong/lynxstuff/SSL/index.html or http://www.moxienet.com/lynx/ for details and code.
or you could extend emacs w3... which'd be cool ;-p
