[OT] Would someone please check if links2 and elinks verify certificates on clean install of Debian 8?

Apologies for offtopic (this might be mildly ontopic about the current state of crypto in open source). Would someone please check if links2 and elinks verify certificates on fresh install of Debian 8? To verify, try to open site which doesn't properly chain to trusted root, say https://cacert.org (unless you trust their root ) and check if it opens or there is error/warning. For me, on updated system, both don't verify certificates. Looks like at least ubuntu and fedora killed the elinks bug long ago. Searching the web for "$browser self signed certificate" shows some relevant results.
