Just FYI:

If i open http://www.slackware.com/ in dillo and click on the docs.slackware.com link, it opens https://docs.slackware.com/
and gives me the error below [1]. I tried following the link
in the error message and got a new error, shown below [2].

In contrast, i can view https://docs.slackware.com/ in lynx
without error.

If i change the URL to http://docs.slackware.com/ then dillo
loads the page without error.

With my custom installation of old dillo 3.0.5, like for you, it works
fine with http://docs.slackware.com/ but https://docs.slackware.com/
gives me:

-8<-------------------------------------------
The https dpi was unable to send the following HTTP query:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: docs.slackware.com
User-Agent: Dillo/3.0.5
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
DNT: 1
Referer: https://docs.slackware.com/
Connection: close

because Dillo's prototype plugin for https support is disabled.
If you want to test this alpha support code, just reconfigure with -- enable-ssl, recompile and reinstall. (Beware that this https support is
very limited now) To use https and SSL, you must have the OpenSSL
development libraries installed. Check your O/S distribution provider, or check out www.openssl.org.

This is no problem for me, I don't really use dillo to surf the web. I
only use dillo as a syntax check for html pages created by me.

Thanks for your reply.

I am using:

http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/15.0/network/dillo/dillo.SlackBuild

Which configures dillo with --enable-ssl.

It works fine for me on other sites such as https://en.wikipedia.org/

The error message i reported came from the server side, not from the
client side.
