[Privoxy-devel] macOS test failures

[Ian Silvester]

Okay I've confirmed that these four tests run successfully once HTTPS inspection is correctly enabled.

In doing so however I've realised I've made a mistake in using Homebrew to install openssl. It puts libraries in a non-standard location (beneath /opt/homebrew/) which I would then have to use in the Privoxy installation, potentially competing with the end user's own Homebrew setup.

I will need to go around the loop again with 'vanilla' openssl to get the libraries to install under /usr/local/lib. I expect to complete this by the end of next weekend.

In the meantime, the Intel macOS release is available on my mirror at https://silvester.org.uk/privoxy (as are the 4.2.0 sources and Debian releases). I'm uploading it to Sourceforge now.
