Well with Indy9, this is what works for me.

var
IdSSLIOHandlerSocket1: TIdSSLIOHandlerSocket;
IdHTTP1: TIdHTTP;
begin
IdSSLIOHandlerSocket1 := TIdSSLIOHandlerSocket.Create(Self);
with IdSSLIOHandlerSocket1 do
begin
Name := 'IdSSLIOHandlerSocket1';
SSLOptions.Method := sslvSSLv2;
SSLOptions.Mode := sslmUnassigned;
SSLOptions.VerifyMode := [];
SSLOptions.VerifyDepth := 0;
end;

IdHTTP1 := TIdHTTP.Create(Self);
with IdHTTP1 do
begin
Name := 'IdHTTP1';
IOHandler := IdSSLIOHandlerSocket1;
Port := 443;
AllowCookies := True;
ProxyParams.BasicAuthentication := False;
ProxyParams.ProxyPort := 0;
Request.ContentLength := -1;
Request.ContentRangeEnd := 0;
Request.ContentRangeStart := 0;
Request.Accept := 'text/html, */*';
Request.BasicAuthentication := False;
Request.UserAgent := 'Mozilla/3.0 (compatible; Indy Library)';
HTTPOptions := [hoForceEncodeParams];
end;
end;
