[pkg-lynx-maint] Bug#785383: lynx: Can't connect to (some) https sites

[Kurt Roeckx]

Package: lynx
Version: 2.8.9dev1-2
Severity: important

Hi,

Recently I can't connect to some https sites anymore.  At least
any *.debian.org site doesn't work, but various other https
websites do work normally.

If I look at it with wireshark I'm getting a SeverHelloDone
message, so the whole TLS connection isn't set up yet, and it
just closes the connection.

When using: 
$ lynx https://www.debian.org/

I get:
Looking up www.debian.org
Making HTTPS connection to www.debian.org
Retrying connection without TLS.
Looking up www.debian.org
Making HTTPS connection to www.debian.org
Alert!: Unable to make secure connection to remote host.

lynx: Can't access startfile https://www.debian.org/



(The "Retrying connection without TLS" doesn't make much sense.)

I can perfectly connect to the website using gnutls-cli, so I have
no idea what is going on.

The version in wheezy works without problems, but the jessie and
testing don't.
