"outdated" openSSL library reference #65

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Can you either make a change or insert a note that the SSL_LIB definition
value in the source code is for outdated openSSL library? It points to
ssleay32.dll and the current release(s) use libssl32.dll instead.

Really all that is needed, as far as mongoose is concern, is the change of
the name.

Thanks!

Well, Mongoose does not rely on the library that may or may not be installed. It
bundles it's own version of libssl. According to the LoadLibrary search order
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682586(VS.85).aspx), Mongoose will 
never
try to load system library (unless standalone version was downloaded, not an
installer). But in this case we do not know what version of libssl is installed 
on
target system.
Changing the name is not enough: I need to replace a DLL, too. Since there is 
little
pay off in doing this, I'll rather do nothing.
