Sadly, I would NOT be surprised if this is indeed a problem on
Windows. You're exactly right - on Linux, it can use a newer SSL
library from the OS. Of course, this does assume that you've updated
your OS, which is far from a guarantee, but since this has security
implications there's a good chance you can update it while retaining a
legacy system.

Also a possibility; in my opinion, losing dependency management is too
big a cost, so I would be inclined to set up a local server. But then,
I would be using a newer SSL library and not have the problem in the
first place.
