[Mystery: SOLVED; Solution: Pending] Indy10 cannot find the SSL libs

[Gustavo 'Gus' Carreno]

Hey Remy,

My setup:

Code: Bash  [Select][+][-]

1. $ cat /etc/os-release
2. NAME="Ubuntu"
3. VERSION="21.04 (Hirsute Hippo)"
4. ID=ubuntu
5. ID_LIKE=debian
6. PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 21.04"
7. VERSION_ID="21.04"
8. HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/"
9. SUPPORT_URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/"
10. BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"
11. PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy"
12. VERSION_CODENAME=hirsute
13. UBUNTU_CODENAME=hirsute

Code: Bash  [Select][+][-]

1. $ apt list --installed | grep openssl
2. openssl/hirsute,now 1.1.1j-1ubuntu3 amd64 [installed,automatic]

Tested on:
Lazarus 2.1 / FPC 3.3.1
AND
Lazarus 2.0.12 / FPC 3.2.2

Indy10 from OPM at version indilaz 10.6.2.3662

On the attached code when I try to visit an HTTPS site it give me and exceptions with message: "Could not load SSL library."

What am I missing, since on this topic no one complained that my code was not finding the SSL libs.

Many thanks in advance!!

Cheers,
Gus

Indy's default TIdSSLIOHandlerSocketOpenSSL component only supports OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier.  Support for OpenSSL 1.1.x is being implemented as a separate SSLIOHandler, but it is still a work in progress. You can try it out and see if it works for you, but I don't know if it supports Ubuntu or not.

Hey Remy,

I kinda had my suspicions that the newest version of OpenSSL was the issue. Thanks for confirming that!!

And my memory is really bad, cuz the PR that you've linked, I've already had a look in the past

Thanks for the good work on it.

Do you have a rough estimate of when you can close or merge that PR?
No pressure. If you're unable to do so just say so. I'm fully aware of the lack of time that OSS maintainer have

Cheers,
Gus

It is not my work, actually.  Someone else is working on it.

Not at this time.  I've been following the discussions on it, but I haven't had a chance to review any of the new code for it yet.

Well, then, can you convey my well wishings? Thanks Remy!

That's kewl, no probs. I'm confident that we'll have a solution during this year
