To enable certificate handling for SSL connnections, set SSL_CERT_DIR and SSL_CERT_FILE in your environment to the proper values (depending upon which SSL library /usr/local/bin/lynx uses), as described in: /usr/local/share/doc/lynx/docs/README.sslcerts and: /usr/local/share/doc/lynx/docs/README.rootcerts. You may also need to generate keys and certificates as described in the latter document and your SSL documentation.
