From what I can see on the OpenSSL web site[1], 1.0.2o and 1.1.0h /are/the
latest in those lines. The only other one available is "1.1.1-pre8", which
I'm assuming is not a release version.

I build from clean extractions of the source archive every time, and blow away
the folder after the build completes (whether successful or unsuccessful).
This is not an issue.

I don't have a "qt_lib_network.pr" file. I have "qt_lib_network.pri" in that
folder, and it contains the following after the build fails to link with OpenSSL:
QT_MODULE_BIN_BASE = Q:/Qt/build/64_dll/qtbase/bin
QT_MODULE_INCLUDE_BASE = Q:/Qt/build/64_dll/qtbase/include
QT_MODULE_LIB_BASE = Q:/Qt/build/64_dll/qtbase/lib
QT_MODULE_HOST_LIB_BASE = Q:/Qt/build/64_dll/qtbase/lib
include(Q:/Qt/build/64_dll/qtbase/mkspecs/modules-inst/qt_lib_network.pri)
QT.network.priority = 1
include(Q:/Qt/build/64_dll/qtbase/mkspecs/modules-inst/qt_lib_network_private.pri)
QT.network_private.priority = 1
It doesn't contain Qt.network.* anything, even though configuration tests report:
Checking for OpenSSL... yes
Checking for OpenSSL 1.1 support... yes
...
OpenSSL ................................ yes
Qt directly linked to OpenSSL ........ yes
OpenSSL 1.1 ............................ yes
I'm not using OPENSSL_LIBS to "override the default library names." Perhaps I
should do that and see if it changes the results.
