I had the same problem even after I upgrading to INDY 10.2.3 and I tryed every different version of the “libeay32.dll” and “ssleay32.dll” files I could find ... Like Matt I always got one of the two errors: "Could not load SSL library" or the "Error connecting with SSL" with something like "error:00000006:lib(0):func(0):EVP lib" ...

I was very happy when I change the TidSSLioHandlerSocketOpenSSL.SSLOptions.Method to sslvSSLv23 and everything started working.

A bit more research and I quickly understood anytime I got the error "Could not load SSL library" I was using the wrong version of the DLL files and anytime I got the "Error connecting with SSL" with something like "error:00000006:lib(0):func(0):EVP lib" I was using the wrong SSLOptions.Method value.

Other Info: I'm using Delphi 2006, INDY 10.2.3 and I'm runnin on WinXP Pro

This caused me so much pain, I hope this post will save someone some time.
