Re: Enabling OpenSSL with Windows Binaries

it's in the comments of the manual, but not in the actual manual text. *why* won't it be fixed in 4.3? Wez Furlong wrote:

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 --Wez.

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. -adam
