Would it be possible to include SSL dlls in Calibre 6?

Can no longer use the Qt
We currently get this error but it worked well in previous version of QT. https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-96349

calibre already includes the openssl dlls as they are used for python.
And on macOS and windows, Qt is configured to use the OSes ssl
facilities rather than openssl. I have no idea why Qt is unable to load
them, as I dont use the Qt network libraries. Why do you need them?

Got it. We had used QT networking stack to make all API calls and provide the user with incremental progress updates for the upload and download of files since it supports multipart out of the box

QNetworkAccessManager, QNetworkRequest, QUrl, QNetworkReply, \
    QHttpMultiPart, QHttpPart, QFile, QFileInfo, QIODevice

Yes been trying to figure it out to not have to do a good bit of refactoring. Only came across the bug report I posted in the initial thread. The alternative is to rewrite and use only urllib

Fixed in branch master. The fix will be in the next release. calibre is usually released every alternate Friday.
