Hi,

Someone recently posted to the elinks-dev list with a report that elinks doesn't check SSL certificates: https://marc.info/?l=elinks-dev&m=148896031830582&w=2

I've verified that elinks-0.11.7 indeed does not check the certs.

Is there any ongoing work to patch this and make a new stable release?

A patch was posted on the list in 2015, but it looks like it never hit the tree: http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/elinks-dev/2015-June/002099.html
