Description

Seems like openssl-sys is not compiling for windows, we need to provide some instructions on how to install and setup open ssl accordingly.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to install OpenSSL on Windows for Rust development. Look into openssl sys documentation, common approaches like using vcpkg or precompiled binaries, and how to set environment variables (e.g., OPENSSL DIR). Provide step by step instructions for setting up OpenSSL and building the project on Windows.
