[pkg-lynx-maint] Bug#797059: lynx cannot connect to https://contributors.debian.org

[Enrico Zini]

Package: lynx-cur
Version: 2.8.9dev6-3
Severity: normal

Hello,

thank you for maintaining lynx. A simple
lynx https://contributors.debian.org currently fails:

   $ lynx -dump -nolist https://contributors.debian.org

   Looking up contributors.debian.org
   Making HTTPS connection to contributors.debian.org
   Verified connection to contributors.debian.org (cert=contributors.debian.org)
   Certificate issued by: /C=FR/ST=Paris/L=Paris/O=Gandi/CN=Gandi Standard SSL CA 2
   Secure 256-bit TLS1.2 (ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384) HTTP connection
   Sending HTTP request.

   Can't Access `https://contributors.debian.org/'

   lynx: Can't access startfile

We currently added "SSLVerifyClient optional" to the server
configuration to support authentication with client certificates, but
client certificates are not required to connect. The relevant apache
configuration is here:
