Lynx on Mac OS X should use native secure transport library and not OpenSSL

[Mario Grgic]

Mac OS X provides native secure transport library that integrates with OS X keychain and that already manages SSL certificates etc. See this link for more details

It would be great if Lynx could use and link against this library instead of OpenSSL, to avoid certificate duplication, but to also allow Lynx to use user passwords stored securely in the user’s keychain.

It would be great if Lynx could use and link against this library instead of OpenSSL, to avoid certificate duplication and management in multiple places, but to also allow Lynx to use user passwords stored securely in the user’s keychain.
