Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: lynx

Here are a few sites that make lynx error with:

SSL error:no issuer was found-Continue? (y)

Now, answering "y" gets you to that site, but it's annoying.
Furthermore, breaks scripting lynx with -dump. For example:

$ lynx -dump https://www.thawte.com

Looking up www.thawte.com
Making HTTPS connection to www.thawte.com

lynx: Can't access startfile https://www.thawte.com/


Here are some sites that break:
https://www.thawte.com/
https://bugs.launchpad.net/
https://landscape.canonical.com/
https://www.realsecureweb.com.br

and certainly many others.

w3m works, as a counter example. Maybe related: w3m was linked with
openssl, while lynx is linked with gnutls.
