Legacy Windows and SSL
----------------------
- WinSSL (Windows SSPI, more specifically Schannel), is the native SSL library
- that comes with the Windows OS. WinSSL in Windows <= XP is not able to
- connect to servers that no longer support the legacy handshakes and
- algorithms used by those versions. If you will be using curl in one of those
- earlier versions of Windows you should choose another SSL backend like
- OpenSSL.
