easy way to get many root certificates?
I'm tired of clicking on the "remote certificate cannot be verified" message. I added a couple of lines to https.c so that it would save certificates. When I encountered the next https page, "openssl x509 -text -in [certificate]" showed that Equifax was the issuer. I got their root certificate, stuck it in .dillo/certs, found the hash value with "openssl x509 -hash -in [certificate]", and linked it to [hash].0. And, hey, no more message! But I don't want to do that over and over for all of the common root certificates. It seems that you can get the certificates out of firefox if you have some program called certutil, but, so far as I can tell, this requires getting a bunch of mozilla code known as NSS that is something like six megs of source. This is nowhere near worth the headaches that would surely result from trying to compile such a thing. So, does anyone happen to know an easy and convenient way to deal with this?

Is there a quick way to generate certificates from that?

You may try http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/~checkout~/pkgsrc/security/mozilla-rootcerts/files/mozilla-rootcerts.sh?rev=1.1.1.1&content-type=text/plain Cheers, Johannes

Yes, but it seems to be broken right now. I'll ask the author of the pkgsrc script to take a look. Joerg
