Openssl 3.2.1

[preimer]

I am attempting to build root, and I noticed during cmake that I get

Not able to recognize SSL version 3.2.1, disable SSL

Using grep to find the source of this message, I found it in net/http/CMakeLists.txt:

  if((${ssl_major} EQUAL "1") AND (${ssl_minor} EQUAL "1"))
    MESSAGE(STATUS "Use SSL API VERSION 1.1 for civetweb")
    target_compile_definitions(RHTTP PUBLIC -DOPENSSL_API_1_1)
    set(link_ssl ON)
  elseif((${ssl_major} EQUAL "3") AND ((${ssl_minor} EQUAL "0") OR (${ssl_minor} EQUAL "1")))
    MESSAGE(STATUS "Use SSL API VERSION 3.${ssl_minor} for civetweb")
    target_compile_definitions(RHTTP PUBLIC -DOPENSSL_API_3_0)
    set(link_ssl ON)
  elseif((${ssl_major} EQUAL "1") AND (${ssl_minor} EQUAL "0"))
    MESSAGE(STATUS "Use SSL API VERSION 1.0 for civetweb")
    target_compile_definitions(RHTTP PUBLIC -DOPENSSL_API_1_0)
    set(link_ssl ON)
  else()
    MESSAGE(WARNING "Not able to recognize SSL version ${OPENSSL_VERSION}, disable SSL")
    target_compile_definitions(RHTTP PUBLIC -DNO_SSL)
  endif()

So clearly, OpenSSL 3.2.1 is not compatible. This leaves 3 options:

1. Remove OpenSSL completely and use Apple’s XCode (what I will likely do)
2. Downgrade the version of OpenSSL
3. Turn off SSL in cmake and the build.

But it raised a larger question to me–Why isn’t OpenSSL 3.2 compatible? Or, is there any reason, in general, that I shouldn’t use OpenSSL 3.2?

It is about support of SSL in the THttpServer class.
Up to now it was not tested with newer openssl version.

If you are using https with THttpServer - one can try to test if it compiles and usable.
If it is not important for you - just ignore warning message.
