hi
here's the version info

curl 7.16.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.16.2 NSS/3.11.4 zlib/1.2.3
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap http file https ftps
Features: IPv6 Largefile SSL libz

By "connect" i mean to say that the webpage is not being displayed.
I can infer this from the change in url entry in address bar ie . when i
enter mail.google.com
it changes to https://mail.google.com but no webpage being displayed.

Till now i was trying on GUI which i developed but
when i typed on terminal "curl https://mail.google.com" it displays
curl: (77) No NSS cacert database specified.

i think i do not have certificates database. Where can i get the database ?
and how can i link that to my GUI browser.

thanks
varun
