Do the SSL libraries not work in Lazarus?

[MarkAurelius]

Hi

I wrote a small app that reads an HTTP url to grab a page of JSON.

This is the code, which compiles in both Delphi and Lazarus:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. function ReadHTTPS(const url: string): string;
2. var
3.   IdHTTP: TIdHTTP;
4.   IdSSL: TIdSSLIOHandlerSocketOpenSSL;
5. begin
6.   IdHTTP := TIdHTTP.Create;
7.   try
8.     IdSSL := TIdSSLIOHandlerSocketOpenSSL.Create(IdHTTP);
9.     IdHTTP.IOHandler := IdSSL;
10.     result := IdHTTP.Get(url);
11.   finally
12.     IdHTTP.Free;
13.   end;
14. end;
15.  

To get that to work in Delphi I dropped in 2 library files, ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll. I moved that same files over to the a lazarus project but when it runs IdHTTP.Get(url)  I get an exception saying "Could not load SSL libraries.

I expect people have solved this before. And advice?

To answer Thaddy's questions on the versions:
My machine with both Delphi and Lazarus installed has 64 bit windows 7.

The Delphi is 10.1 Berlin.I have had this working with both 32 and 64 bit targets.

The Lazarus is 1.6.4. It was installed from lazarus-1.6.4-fpc-3.0.2-win64.exe

And that was the problem! It worked once I had the 64 bit libraries in place! I think I wasn't giving FPC credit for 64-bit.

What version of Delphi? What version of Indy? What version of Lazarus? And do you use 32 bit or 64 bit?
For Lazarus 64 bit you will need 64 bit compiled openssl dll's. 32 bit works only with 32 bit Lazarus.
I expect that you are using Windows? Because the libraries are platform specific, i.e. the openssl dll's of course won't work on Linux.

Properly set up, your code not only compiles but simply works. I suspect that you use 64 bit Laz ...and try to load 32 bit openssl dll's.

Note that the naming of these dll's you can obtain from that link is actually plain wrong and confusing. They still suggest 32 bit but ARE 64 bits. Maybe Remy can fix that....?

Confusing, but as intended. See the note about naming in the link.

More up to date libraries are here. Those are old.

Yes, that was it! I don't know why I didn't try that out when I was first doing this. Thanks for pointing me to the obvious.

Yes. Much better binaries. Tnx.
