Does it still fail for you if you use a non-secure (https:) url?

I ran your code against the home page of the beeb and got this output: 

C:\test>535553
Starting LetsRock()
WaitForThreads() started
waiting for 1
waiting for 2
waiting for 3
waiting for 4
waiting for 5
WaitForThreads() finished

I've had trouble with SSLeay on my system in the past without threads, but it's possible there is some interaction between them.

If you can fetch non https urls without problems, it will give you (and us) somewhere to concentrate on looking for the problem.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
