Versions of Windows prior to Windows 8 do not enable TLS 1.2 by default,
though support may exist.  Try to enable TLS 1.2 support explicitly on
connections.

This request may fail if the operating system does not have TLS 1.2
support - the initial release of Vista lacks TLS 1.2 support (though
it is available as a software update) and XP completely lacks TLS 1.2
support.  If this request does fail, the HTTP context is still valid,
and still maintains the original protocol support.  So we ignore the
failure from this operation.
