That's a good point. I'll make sure to include an https:// capable
text-browser for that. I personally prefer w3m, but I suppose I should
go with lynx since more people will know that one/be comfortable with
it. I'll check to make sure it can do https first, but I'm pretty sure
it can, if compiled to.
