POST to https in LC5.0.2 - Error socket closed

[matthias_livecode_150811 at m-r-d.de]

Sean,
i just reactivated on an VM an old  "LC 5.0.2 Complete" license which was similar to the Enterprise license in earlier versions of LC on a Windows 

I tried to post to a https:// url in 5.0.2 and  i got an SSL error. It seems that 5.0.2 does only support the old TLS V1 and newer web servers do not support that anymore.
So i am not sure, if LC 5.0.2 is of any use.
Just wanted to let you know.

Regards,
Matthias
