 >  Does LibreSSL now work with Qt?

 If memory serves me well, the Qt guys decided not to support libressl back
 in the day. I can't remember if that decision was ever explained publicly,
 but I could imagine it has to do with how they support OpenSSL. You can
 (or could) either build with a hard dependency on OpenSSL (linking the
 libs in), or with dynamic support where the libraries are loaded on
 demand. Supporting both modes with both SSL implementations might not be
 feasible, and not supporting both modes with all supported SSL
 implementations might be inaccetable for them.
 Long story short:  I'd be surprised if they had changed their mind about
 this unless LibreSSL was suddenly poised to take over the world (?)
