HTTPS Support In Browser Alternatives?
thoglette asks: "The ongoing security problems of IE/NS and the difficulty in controlling what the browser can/cannot do makes me want to move to something like Pine, however I need to use 'certificate' encryption (& https.) to access certain client sites. What support is there in other browsers for HTTPS?" How many bits are supported is important too. Encryption in IE and NS are up to 128-bit security whereas before 56-bit was the standard.
I've used CURL a few times, for downloading from websites via https.
CURL is basically identical to wget, but with the advantage that it understands https.
For example it can be used by Gotmail to download mail from Hotmail - from the commandline.
