I have a problem concerning that function HTSSLInitPRNG starting in
line 109 of file HTTP.c.
I've compiled the release 2.8.3 of lynx under cygwin-1.1.4 with
ssl-support using openssl-0.9.5a. As the patch suggested by Hataguchi
Takeshi in the lynx-dev discussion list isn't obviously applicable with
cygwin, i coped with the LD-process (there are no s(l)rand48 and -by the
way- no _lrand or srand-symbols in my openssl-libraries) finally by
changing the version number in the condition SSLEAY_VERSION_NUMBER >=
0x00905100, so that it's not TRUE (0x00935100). After connecting for
ssl-checks to www.fortify.net and www.moxienet.com, my lynx seemingly
works well with encrypted connections. What pitfalls could there be
though ?
Thank you
