Indy 9 + Delphi 2007 latest SSL Libraries available?

Question

When using Delphi 2007 along with Indy 9, what are the latest OpenSSL libraries that can be loaded and where are they available?

Answer 1

You need the following two DLLs:

• libeay32.dll
• ssleay32.dll

You can download the source from the open-source organization OpenSSL.org, but then you have to compile the DLLs yourself. Indy maintains a site of compiled binaries for each version of Indy and OpenSSL (see indy.fulgan.com/SSL and indy.fulgan.com/SSL/Archive -- thanks to TLama for the links).

Older versions of Indy are not compatible with the OpenSSL libraries (see Indy "Could not load SSL Library" with Delphi 2007/Apache). TLama added a comment to your question to look at an Embarcadero discussion about this. In that discussion, Remy said "try the old 0.9.6 DLLs at http://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/Archive/". That's probably the version that you will need to use.

Answer 2

This worked for me! I am working in Delphi 5 with Indy 9 and struggled to find the right DLLs, I downloaded http://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/Archive/indy_OpenSSL096m.zip and put both DLLs in my program dir and c:\Windows\System32. Thank you James L and Remy "Gambit" Lebeau, you awesome X-man.
