Hi,
Hoping that someone who knows the secrets of https
on the xemacs list will have a chance to look at this.
I have w3 set up to use https via openssl;
I'll attach the configuration which I got working using Bill
Perry's help a few months ago.
The problem is that many sites end up returning w3 a blank
(0 bytes) page
--the one I'm trying to overcome right now is
sourceforge.net.
I'll append the w3 configuration for ssl that is know to at
least work part of the time:
(setq ssl-program-name "essl"
ssl-program-arguments '("s_client" "-quiet"
"-host" host "-port"
service
"-verify" (int-to-string
ssl-certificate-verification-policy)
"-CApath" ssl-certificate-directory))
--and I use the following shell script (essl refered to above)
to wrapper openssl
#!/bin/sh
#redirect stderr so emacs doesn't barf on opensll
exec 2>/dev/null
exec openssl "$@"
--
Best Regards,
