Tried downloading a file from dropbox using downloadFile and sysDownloadError returned this: Unable to init SSL Context

What does that mean?

You are using Windows I take it? Seems that there might be an outdated or missing SSL Library, an admittedly old StackOverflow post suggests that you might need libeay32.dll, libssl32.dll, ssleay32.dll from the OpenSSL project. Whether that is still relevant remains to be seen but it does seem that you cannot get the SSL subsystem up and running...

Ah. Great find. Thanks!

If you're not downloading from a secure https it seems to work fine. But I believe a 3.0 update was supposed to resolve that issue. Seems to be broke again. Ill give those .dll files a whirl when I get home.

If you are not downloading from a https: site then it isn't needed, but it is a Qt system thing rather than a Mudlet specific issue - so I'm not entirely certain that a 3.0 update would make a difference (unless we had coded something wrong which, regrettably, can happen! )

https support was added in 3.0: https://github.com/vadi2/Mudlet/commit/ ... 7e50b9d346

Sounds like we need to double-check if it works on Windows with the libraries the installer comes with.

Confirmed, thanks for reporting this!

Just giving a small bump to this - My package is currently on github, and it would be nice if I can set it to auto-update itself from that source (which to my knowledge is https only) - Using 3.0-delta/windows 7

See PR323 (development) and PR324 (release_30) for the fix for THIS I believe.
