I noticed while trying to deploy for all platforms on Qt 5.12.4 that as of that version only openssl version 1.1.1+ is supported. This prompted me to check what version is used currently in this project (1.0.1k) and to also check the EOL.

I found that 1.0.1 version reached EOL in 2016. 1.0.2 reaches EOL in december 2019 so I wanted to know if there is a reason the default is not 1.1.1 ? This also probably supports our efforts to encourage a bump from QT 5.9 to 5.12.4/5. I think a comprehensive look across all platforms should be considered.
