linux - Links SSL Error

What version of links does the user called "bytepool" have that he's able to find this workaround? Refer to link below.

How to tell `links` to ignore expired SSL certificate and proceed?

He writes "I quickly peeked into the code, and it seems that the relevant function is verify_cert in https.c. .... So as a quick fix for my problem I just built myself a custom version in which verify_cert always returns true, i.e. the cert check is just completely bypassed."

Going to http://links.twibright.com/download.php and downloading and extracting http://links.twibright.com/download/links-2.8.tar.gz I see this is the contents of https.c I see no verify_cert function

Here is the contents of https.c
