Hello folks! Hope you're doing well. :hello:
I was wondering how I could get (secure) TLS 1.2/1.3 working in an app that targets Windows XP, as most modern servers no longer accept HTTP requests.

From what I could find online, I'd need OpenSSL 1.1.1 and libcURL 7.73.0 (although I'm not 100% sure), which have support for TLS 1.2/1.3 and modern networking while also staying compatible with Windows XP.
My only issue with the two is that despite me having searched for multiple downloads from multiple different repositories, I've only been able to find the executables and source code for them. <_<

Perhaps it's a mistake and stupidity on my behalf, but is it possible to directly get the SDK files directly? (Such as the "/include" and "/lib" directories)
And if so, would I be obliged to use outdated and non-updated versions of OpenSSL and libcURL, or are there any modern-ish and stable backports?

For reference, I'm compiling the app using Code::Blocks 17.12 alongside its bundled MinGW compiler (GCC 5.1.0), targeting 32-bit (x86) Windows XP.

Any help would be appreciated. Have a nice day. :D
