Thanks for your reply.

I am using:

http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/15.0/network/dillo/dillo.SlackBuild

Which configures dillo with --enable-ssl.

It works fine for me on other sites such as https://en.wikipedia.org/

The error message i reported came from the server side, not from the
client side.
