Delphi: Get text from an HTTPS WWW resource

Question

How can I get the text out of https://lehrer-programm-experience.netlify.app/version.txt into a string? I already tried s:=IdHTTP.Get('https://lehrer-programm-experience.netlify.app/version.txt'); but I get this error:

It's German: "SSL library couldn't be loaded."

Is there another way to do it or did I made a mistake?

i moved the zip to the .exe file location and unzppied it there. Still the same Error. I already tried it with the same link but with http:// but its still now working :/ — Igerbam, Sep 26 '20 at 12:57
Try with [this link](https://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/Archive/openssl-1.0.2p-i386-win32.zip). — Olivier, Sep 26 '20 at 13:04
`http` doesn't work because the server redirects to `https`. — Olivier, Sep 26 '20 at 13:04
@Olivier [the fulgan mirror has been retired](https://www.indyproject.org/2020/06/16/openssl-binaries-moved-to-github/). The DLLs are now hosted at https://github.com/IndySockets/OpenSSL-Binaries — Remy Lebeau, Sep 26 '20 at 18:17

I already found out. I navigate to the website by a TWebBrowser https://lehrer-programm-experience.netlify.app/version.html and then take the text out of the site:

NewestVersion := WebBrowser1.OleObject.Document.Body.InnerText;

Make sure to check the HTTP status to distinguish a `200` from a `404`. – AmigoJack Sep 27 '20 at 07:42
