FORCE_SSL_PROMPT in lynx



I upgraded from 3.5 -> 3.6 recently on a host here and found the following
error popping up:

 $ lynx https://foo.example.org/

 SSL error:unable to get local issuer certificate-Continue? (y)

foo.example.org does not have a certificate issued by one of the
money-hungry certificate authorities; instead it has a self-signed
certificate.

According to <http://www.mail-archive.com/lynx-dev_(_at_)_sig_(_dot_)_net/msg09714.html>
lynx2.8.5.dev9 started reporting SSL errors of this nature. I've tried the
following in my /etc/lynx.cfg.

FORCE_SSL_PROMPT:NO
FORCE_SSL_PROMPT:FALSE
.h2 FORCE_SSL_PROMPT:NO
.h2 FORCE_SSL_PROMPT:FALSE
.h2 FORCE_SSL_PROMPT no
.h2 FORCE_SSL_PROMPT false

Alas, no such luck. Also the lynx online documentation is not accessible
<sigh> for this release.

So, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know. 

Thanks.
