Are you using a version prior to 2.8.7?

EDIT: I downloaded the oldest of the 2.8.8 lynx sources. After trying out different options it was configured without ssl support by default and I reproduced the error. Configuring & building lynx in the following way fixed the problem:
# download the lynx source
./configure --with-ssl --enable-gnutls-compat
make
./lynx https://mail.google.com
Remember to use --prefix=
<prefix of directory containing lynx.cfg>
and --with-pkg-config=
<directory prefix of binaries>
with configure. I use Arch Linux so these were "/" and "/usr" respectively, For debian based distros you shouldn't need these. I just thought it worth mentioning.

I used MacPorts to install lynx
port info lynx
lynx @2.8.7rel.1, Revision 1 (www)
Variants: gnutls, [+]ssl, universal
to install:
sudo port install lynx +ssl
Lynx will access my gmail!
I changed the following option so not to be asked each time:
This allows you to tell how to handle errors detected in SSL connections prompt normally to prompt for each cookie, force yes-response to reply "yes" to each prompt, force no-response to reply "no" to each prompt.
still doesnt work. I am using 2.8.8 – None – 2011-05-05T22:30:08.047
What distro, OS and release (if not rolling release) are you using? – andreasw – 2011-05-05T23:02:55.477
Nice answer, @andreasw. +1 for you. – None – 2011-05-06T02:46:41.287
Mac OS X. I will try to implement this and get back. – yayu – 2011-05-06T04:04:05.493
You may just want to build & install with Fink or MacPorts. The lynx packages from both systems include support for https. Also, that way you have it managed by a package manager. – andreasw – 2011-05-06T04:40:30.593
