Slightly paraphrased from the cypherpunks mailing list: https://cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/2016-March/012574.html [OT] Would someone please check if links2 and elinks verify certificates on clean install of Debian 8? ---- ...elinks and links2 don't verify ssl certificates at all on Debian 8 (this got confirmation in the thread) To verify, try to open site which doesn't properly chain to trusted root, say https://cacert.org (unless you trust their root ) and check if it opens or there is error/warning. For me, on updated system, both don't verify certificates. Looks like at least ubuntu and fedora killed the elinks bug long ago. Searching the web for "$browser self signed certificate" shows some relevant results. ---- Sarcastic comment asks "when debian will learn about this". Will leave this list soon.

Under Debian/unstable, I get an error with links2 as expected. So, apparently no problems here. But indeed, elinks does not report an error. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vincent@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
