[Bug 334191]

[Bernd-paysan]

I think what is needed here is a guy who knows what SSL is and how it
works.  And who takes the time to implement it.  I feel like talking
with some indian outsourcer here, whom you tell "You have not
implemented the SSL protocol, only a subset", and the answer is a parrot
saying "I need more info, I need more info".

Here's more info:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6101

That's the latest RFC on TLS; you will best use OpenSSL to implement it,
which does most of the stuff for you:

http://www.openssl.org/docs/ssl/ssl.html

So, I think that's enough of information: The SSL/TLS implementation in
KDE 4 implements only a small subset.  It needs some serious effort to
get it usable.  KDE 3's SSL support was complete and worked.  However,
that guy apparently left, and the rest of the KDE team can only do
flashy GUI stuff.  This is not flashy GUI stuff, this is serious
cryptography stuff.  Therefore, nobody cares.
