{bb} Lynx & HTTPS



I'm tryin g to test connectivity to a https server and I get the
following error:

https://test.site.com/ - No connection

Looking up test.site.com
Making HTTPS connection to test.site.com
Retrying connection without TLS.
Looking up test.site.com
Making HTTPS connection to test.site.com
Alert!: Unable to make secure connection to remote host.

lynx: Can't access startfile https://test.site.com

When I run lynx --head https://test.site.com it asks for cert acceptance
etc but eventually connects to the site.
This is a redhat ES4 system with lynx-2.8.5-18

I test the sites on another bb system the same way and it seems to work
o.k.
(lynx-2.8.5-11).  Any reason why it would work on one and not the other.
 Also, I tried curl -k --head https://test.site.com on the command line
 and it seems to work
without asking to accept the cert.  I am wondering if I could possibly
change BB to use curl -k instaed of lynx as a possible work around for
the above lynx error.
