A question from one of my users: does Lynx have or plan to have
a "secure" capability ?
* a [7]secure browser that supports 128 bit encryption, no cache and
Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
(BTW, user _loves_ Lynx, does not want to change to Netscape ;-) )
I searched the User's Guide for "secure" and found nothing.
I searched CHANGES. for secure and found some stuff relating to cookies
which appears not relevant.
The user is trying to access his account via link # 4 at
http://www.vanguard.com/new/announce/NW19961210A.html"
and gets the following message:
