[Bug 1427364] Re: 3.0 downloadFile on Windows doesn't support https

 

Hrm, I guess the original problem was summarized as "there is this
mudlet function called downloadFile and it doesn't play nicely with
https".  It sounds like that at least works now.  However, the "map"
button on the GUI, which is the only way to download a fresh map that
mudlet will recognize, had been working fine, until IRE recently
switched their map.xml files from http to https.  I cannot just put a
"good" map.xml file into the appropriate directory, either, as Mudlet
does not recognize it.  In short, maybe one of the most important, basic
things many users will now have to do with https (just grabbing the
game's latest map) isn't going to happen anymore unless this is fixed.

Title:
  3.0 downloadFile on Windows doesn't support https

Status in Mudlet:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Using downloadFile on Windows on an https url in 3.0.0-delta fails
  with: Unable to init SSL Context

  Stephen reckons it is:

  You are using Windows I take it? Seems that there might be an outdated
  or missing SSL Library, an admittedly old StackOverflow
  [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14989135/qt-downloading-a-file-
  doesnt-work] post suggests that you might need libeay32.dll,
  libssl32.dll, ssleay32.dll from the OpenSSL project. Whether that is
  still relevant remains to be seen but it does seem that you cannot get
  the SSL subsystem up and running...
