                        Lynx v2.7 SSL Support

        Lynx has HTTPS, SNEWS and CONNECT support via patches or
replacement files for the general distribution.  It currently is based
on the SSLeay crypto and SSL libraries, whose distribution and use
are restricted by licenses and state and US laws and regulations as
described in:

The FAQ points to the library.
