Your specific issue may be due to a bug in NetSurf but much more likely to be an issue with the build for Void Linux.

The report indicates an issue using the curl library.

We have seen several issues recently with curl libraries being built with a different version of the openssl library to the one NetSurf uses.

NetSurf https handling *only* works when curl and NetSurf itself are built with openssl of the same version.

The 3.9 release is imminent which has many bug fixes and may solve your issue but I would not be confident in that.

I think this might be the same issue as https://bugs.netsurf-browser.org/mantis/view.php?id=2663, which was fixed in http://git.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/commit/?id=3d80e825e1c77ece19c21ed1cc568049856a44de.

The error was CURLM_RECURSIVE_API_CALL because it was getting called from within a curl callback. See also https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/3837.

This is a known issue in version 3.8 when using a recent curl.

The 3.9 version has been released and should address this issue.

Please can anyone reporting this issue include the version of *netsurf* they are using so I can be assured this is not occurring in 3.9

I apologise, I noticed I forgot to report the version of netsurf which is indeed 3.8. As soon as packages are available on OpenBSD for 3.9 I will report back

I can confirm that Netsurf 3.9 on OpenBSD no longer has this issue.
