As far as I remember the issue basically boils down to:
If Qt doesn’t find the _exact_ versions of libssl/crypto that Qt was compiled 
against (includes patch level), it first tries to find libssl/crypto without 
any version number in the file name, and then it loads the highest 
libssl/crypto that is on the system, even if Qt was compiled against 1.0 and 
1.0 is installed on the system.

Code is in 
http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/tree/src/network/ssl/qsslsocket_openssl_symbols.cpp#n748
 (loadOpenSsl)
A workaround for you could be to create symlinks libssl.so / libcrypto.so to 
your 1.0 libs.

It is not really that difficult, it is just broken in Qt ;) 
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-68971
Qt could also just try loading all libraries in order newest to oldest, and 
just take whatever succeeds loading…

When we start shipping OpenSSL we start being responsible for security issues 
in it.

But what we should do is better reporting to the user, and possibly asking the 
user if we should fall back to trying http in that case.
