LYNX-DEV <KEYGEN...> , and other additions

[Tom Zerucha]

The best user agent string (except for accomidating servers) so far is:

Mozilla 3.0 (X11; U; Compatible - Lynx 2-6)

I need it for digitalid.verisign.com.

They also have bad HTML, but the main problem is that a form for agreement
has the <FORM...> tag where lynx thinks there is a comment block and gives
"no form action defined".  I have tried various combinations of ` and ' to
no avail.

Instead, it may be a problem in the forms handling since every text field
is hidden, so the only thing left is the submit image. 

I am also getting a segmentation fault at the return from the cp spawned
in the Save Downloaded file section - the cp
command completes. It only
happens when I download the certificate.

<KEYGEN...> tags should be treated as very long text input fields (1024
bytes) and indicate the contents of any CHALLENGE="string" section, I am
worried about spaces at the ends or other things that might not be
visible. 

Information starts at http://home.netscape.com/eng/security/certs.html
Start with "Key Generation" which explains Netscape's usage.

With the utilities in SSLeay, you can generate a private key and the spkac
string (which needs the CHALLENGE if there is one), so you would have to
go to another shell, run some programs, and cut-paste. 

When the download problem is fixed, you can take the DER encoded user
certificate, add it to the private key, and use it with my SSL proxy.
