Enabling OpenSSL with Windows Binaries

Right now, if you're using the pre-built Windows binaries, you can use
cURL to make an SSL request, but you can't use an https stream.

I'm guessing from this that OpenSSL is already on the box that creates
the binaries, and we just need to modify the build script to enable
it. If somebody had the free time to do this, I think it would be a
good thing to do. :)

Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem. Even if OpenSSL is enabled and the 2
DLLs are copied to the system32 dir.

Is it a simple matter, or is it because OpenSSL isn't compiled
statically? Or is this rule only apply to built-in https support?

Um. Nevermind. I am an idiot.

The problem is linkage; for some reason, someone (in group@ ?) decided that
they didn't want to link the php core to openssl in the windows builds, and in
php 4.3 you can't use ssl:// or https:// unless it is statically linked.

PHP 5 can handle this dynamically.

Search the bug db; this has been reported multiple times, is documented in the
manual (IIRC) and won't be fixed in 4.3

it's in the comments of the manual, but not in the actual manual text.

*why* won't it be fixed in 4.3?
