Moin,

how do I fetch a html page over https?

% prince -o foo.pdf https://s/d.html
% prince: https://s/d.html: error: libcurl was built with SSL disabled, https: not supported!
% prince: https://s/d.html: error: could not load input file

I understand the error message but is it possible to bring it to work? I think prince is a static binary so using a local libcurl with ssl isn't a option.

Any idea?

We will try enabling support for HTTPS URLs for the next release of Prince. I've added this issue to the roadmap. In the meantime, you will need to use curl or wget to retrieve the documents over HTTPS.

The Problem with using curl or wget is, that I've got the media stylesheet not the print.css. I have to put the print.css on the local system an use the "-s" switch.

Right, it will be more convenient when we support this in Prince. We will try and have it ready for the next maintenance release.

We have added support for HTTPS URLs to the Prince 6.0 rev 3 release. Please give it a try and let us know how it goes!
