It's possible you downloaded a lynx version that does not include secure socket layer support. Run lynx --version and you should get output such as:
Lynx Version 2.9.0dev.9 (01 Aug 2021) libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL 1.1.1t, ncurses 6.2.20200212(wide) Built on netbsd9.1 (Oct 27 2021 10:14:17).

See https://lynx.invisible-island.net/ and the online help for more information. See http://www.openssl.org/ for information about OpenSSL. If your version output does not include ssl/OpenSSL or some other secure socket supporting software, that's your problem, and you'll need to locate a download with ssl support for your platform. -- Rudy Vener An audio release of Beast Hunt Vol 1, containing my short story Dragon Wing, is loose in the wild: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DPN1QGGJ Latest Limerick - Proper Pronunciation Pays Plaudit Points https://limerickdude.substack.com/p/proper-pronunciation-pays-plaudit Website: http://www.rudyvener.com On Thu, Jul 24, 2025 at 09:31:37AM -0500, Nathaniel Brown wrote: > I downloaded lynx ???curses??? and when I try to use it a red bar pops up > saying ???this browser does not support https??? and then it closes I don???t > know what to do
