With my custom installation of old dillo 3.0.5, like for you, it works 
fine with http://docs.slackware.com/ but https://docs.slackware.com/ 
gives me:

-8<-------------------------------------------
The https dpi was unable to send the following HTTP query: 

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: docs.slackware.com
User-Agent: Dillo/3.0.5
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
DNT: 1
Referer: https://docs.slackware.com/
Connection: close

because Dillo's prototype plugin for https support is disabled. 
If you want to test this alpha support code, just reconfigure with --
enable-ssl, recompile and reinstall. (Beware that this https support is 
very limited now) To use https and SSL, you must have the OpenSSL 
development libraries installed. Check your O/S distribution provider, or 
check out www.openssl.org.

This is no problem for me, I don't really use dillo to surf the web. I 
only use dillo as a syntax check for html pages created  by me.
