Indy 10 - IdHTTP.Get raising "Could not load SSL library"

Question

In my application I am using IdHTTP.Get. A part of the code:

var
  IdHTTP: TIdHTTP;
begin
  IdHTTP := TIdHTTP.Create(nil);
  Output := IdHTTP.Get(url);
  ...
  IdHTTP.Free;

Using IdHTTP.Version gives me the version: 10.6.2.5263

I have downloaded the OpenSSL from here, both libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll are in the same folder of my application.

This problem occured since I am using a new laptop with Windows 10. I hope someone can tell me how to solve this problem!

Solution

If you need to access an https url, you must add some code, to complete the creation of the TidHTTP component.

Try use something like this:

// create components
HTTPs := Tidhttp.Create(nil);
IdSSL := TIdSSLIOHandlerSocket.Create(nil);
// try..finally for free
try
  // ini
  HTTPs.ReadTimeout := 30000;
  HTTPs.IOHandler := IdSSL;
  IdSSL.SSLOptions.Method := sslvTLSv1;
  IdSSL.SSLOptions.Method := sslvTLSv1;
  IdSSL.SSLOptions.Mode := sslmUnassigned;
  ...

You need to add IdSSLOpenSSL to uses clause.
