Some of you may have been issues with browsers connecting to your web broker applications. This problem has come up at different times for different people. For me, this happened last week. Suddenly, my Firefox browser wasn’t able to connect to my web applications written in Delphi.

After an excruciatingly painful hour, I finally figured out the issue. The SSL libraries that I was using were suddenly non compatible with the new update browser calls.

Luckily, the fix was easy. Download the new libraries from https://github.com/IndySockets/OpenSSL-Binaries

Note: It is important to note that the file names for both 32bit and 64bit libraries are exactly the same with ’32’ in both the names! You can see how that can get confusing. So if you don’t refer the right version, the application will fail.
