Umm... should this really work with HTTPS URLs on AROS? When I try to run it, it says "Couldn't open amisslmaster.library 4", but AFAIK AmiSSL hasn't been ported to AROS?

Or is there any other shell tool to download from HTTPS URLs? I only found an ancient port of wget which doesn't seem to support HTTPS... is there newer one somewhere?

No there are no other tools.

As reported by the developers in the attached link, the new versions of AmiSSL are only for OS3 and OS4, due to the lack of motivated developers, they were not able to provide native binaries for the MorphOS/PPC or AROS (PPC, i386, x86_64) platform.

So, the topic of this thread should probably be changed ;)

Has there been any discussions why there isn't an HTTPS capable Wget for AROS? On other Amiga(ish) platforms there have been (since ages) Wget ports that don't need AmiSSL or other dependencies...

I assumed that there would be on AROS too (just checked that Wget is available and made my assumption) :) If I can't find an external solution to download from HTTPS sources, the lyrics display in the upcoming RNOTunes program won't work unfortunately... but it isn't a show-stopper either, just a minor feature missing :)

I don't really know C so can't help with the port/build. I'd be happy to help fund a bounty though.

SSL is a cornerstone of internet networking and something we need.
