I've tested the latest httrack on both fc4 linux and OS X darwin, both have
openssl-0.9.7 installed. Both gave the same result (no transfers) on different
https targets. What am i doing wrong? 

I can't find information about what goes wrong, just

Info:   No data seems to have been transfered during this session! : restoring
previous one!

Is it perhaps the 'winhttrack' as i don't use M$ software?
