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.
