Indeed. But you could save time by just downloading qtbase too. Then you save time in the download, time in the build as well as disk space. > Riddle me this though: > for 5.15.2 I built 2 MSVC versions: one with built-in SSL 1.1.1K support > and one without. > When I build a hello world widget app, the .exe file without SSL lands > at 10541 kB but the one *with* SSL 1.1.1K support is 10531 kB.

I assume you're not using QSslSocket or any of the classes that would indirectly use it (QNetworkAccessManager), otherwise that makes no sense. As in, it doesn't make sense to support HTTP only, not HTTPS. I can't account for the difference. If I needed to know this, I'd inspect the linker map to find out what got linked in.
