Hi Steve, great piece of doc. I just don't get why you say that surf does not support SSL, or that you can't figure out how to enable it. Actually, you don't have to enable anything: SSL/TLS support is enabled by default in surf (well, in WebKit), and there is no easy way to disable it. You can easily tell whether a page is using SSL by looking at the "T" flag in the indicator of web page (the two letters that you have after the ":" in the surf status bar). It you see a "T", you are using SSL. Another little thing that is missing altogether from your doc (which is, again, very good for the beginner) is the usage of a proxy, which can be very handful, and is as easy as launching surf with: http_proxy="socks5://localhost:5000" tabbed surf -e assuming that your socks5 proxy is on localhost:5000. It also works with other sorts of proxies, but the socks5 one is somehow a special case, since one can be created by using no more than: ssh -D 5000 the.server.adress Oh, and when surf is using a proxy, the second letter of the indicator of the webpage (again, the two letters after the ":" in the status bar) will be a P :) My2Cents KatolaZ -- [ ~.,_ Enzo Nicosia aka KatolaZ - GLUGCT -- Freaknet Medialab ] [ "+. katolaz [at] freaknet.org --- katolaz [at] yahoo.it ] [ @) http://kalos.mine.nu --- Devuan GNU + Linux User ] [ @@) http://maths.qmul.ac.uk/~vnicosia -- GPG: 0B5F062F ] [ (@@@) Twitter: @KatolaZ - skype: katolaz -- github: KatolaZ ]
