If you find yourself on Mac OS X having problems getting SSL working for Emacs under Mac OS X, you might try installing GnuTLS and telling emacs to use that instead. Why would you need this? In my case I was just trying to get Wanderlust (the best email client for emacs in my opinion) [...] The recent iTunes 9.1 update from Apple came with a bug that breaks compatibility with the Dansguardian web content filter and results in an Can’t Connect to the iTunes Store error message from iTunes. What is happening is that iTunes requests a URL with a dot after the hostname: http://ax.init.itunes.apple.com./ And dansguardian rejects it [...] Newly discovered secrets about the Copper Scroll unleash a series of events that engulf current and former CIA operatives, leaders of the United States, Israel, and Iraq in a race to unlock the secret.
