Libtorrent: Unsupported URL protocol on torrentleech
libtorrent version: 1.2.4
platform: macos/ios
I have a problem with private tracker "torrentleech", it has 2 trackers:
https://tracker.torrentleech.org/a/fc78e~756c9c/announce
https://tracker.tleechreload.org/a/fc78e~756c9c/announce
And both says "unsupported URL protocol", but in qBittorrent they works just fine.
Do I need to setup something more to make them work, or what?
I used for testing "client_test" from examples folder.

That means usually openssl isn't enabled during building, I believe, so https announces is unsupported. Set crypto to openssl during building, and have openssl in right place(check docs), as deluge and qbittorrent both also does.

yes, libtorrent can be built both with and without openssl support. If it's built without, HTTPS won't work.
Maybe it's silly to support a build configuration without openssl, but it's really only used for HTTPS trackers, and I can imagine systems where it's not necessary (and it's kind of a heavy dependency to have)
