Package: lynx-cur
Version: 2.8.9dev5-2
Severity: wishlist

When connecting to a site with an invalid certificate, such as an
expired one, one gets:

  SSL error:The certificate is NOT trusted. The certificate chain uses
  expired certificate. -Continue? (y)

For better security, the default answer should be 'n'.
