I can confirm that this used to work on Windows before the server changes. I built those binaries, but I also demonstrated the feature on a number of Windows machines. I think it is simply an SSL issue, and after a quick search found,
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3516143/qt-ssl-support-missing We had similar issues with CMake too, where the default binary did not distribute with SSL enabled due to export issues (i.e. mainly the US government defining strong encryption as a munition subject to export controls). I would suspect that this is the main cause, but it is not something that was ever a concern back then - few services used SSL. It looks like we would need to find and add Windows SSL DLLs to the distribution on Windows. On Wed, Jun 8, 2016 at 4:42 PM, Geoffrey Hutchison <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm stumped.
