[Lynx-dev] SSLv23 method gone now

[Gisle Vanem]

Seems OpenSSL is now moving ahead so fast it's breaking a
lot of applications. Now on Lynx/MSVC:
  www.lib(HTTP.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol 
_SSLv23_client_method
  referenced in function _HTGetSSLHandle

What's the best fix for this now?

I just did this w/o actually knowing OpenSSL that well:

But it seems to work. From:
