Try this:

1. Download the [OpenSSL artifact](https://github.com/JuliaBinaryWrappers/OpenSSL_jll.jl/releases/download/OpenSSL-v3.0.15+0/OpenSSL.v3.0.15.x86_64-w64-mingw32.tar.gz) using your browser
2. Extract the contents twice, e.g. using 7-zip
3. Create a new folder in `C:\Users\NAMENAME\.julia\artifacts`, and name it `8b5673894767bc39a7d0dfdad9c9c083fd9fe304`
4. Copy the three folders `bin`, `include`, and `share` from the extracted folder to the new folder
5. Run `julia>]add HTTP` again
