Hello, 

I would like to request some additional clarification on this installation step "Choosing HTTPS transport backend" (see attached image). It gives me two options: 

1) Use the open SSL Library
2) Use the native windows secure channel library

Which one should I choose? My goal with web development is to produce a personal website to house my blog developed on my personal laptop (mostly including text, images, and tables). Down the road I would like to create a more interactive website utilizing java script (which I have not learned yet). 

 

Thank you

Hi Sunjeev,
Quite honestly, for your use case it does not matter one bit which option
you choose, I believe.

Ciao,
Johannes
