[Interest] Qt for WinRT and openssl

[Rogerio Nicolau]

Thanks.
I guess that means there is nothing I can do to make it work.
The issue seems to be that openssl supports 78 ciphers and the UWP 
implementation only supports 4.
I have created a bugreport (https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-67112) 
indicating the specific cipher I know is not working.
