Backporting SNI support to QT 4.7.4?
-
I have a device running various apps with QT 4.7.4 on top of Linux with openssl 0.9.8zh.
Due to the circumstances I have, I can't upgrade to a newer QT on this device.
Is there any way I can back-port the patch for SSL Server Name Indication (as mentioned in this bug https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-1352 ) to QT 4.7.4? Are there any other things I would also need to back-port? Would I need a newer OpenSSL for it to work?
Or should I give up and replace my HTML code with something other than qhttp if I need SNI support? -
Hi
it seems pretty local to the SSL classes so most likely it would just port.
However, having a custom Qt might not be the best solution in the long run so
if possible to replace the qhttp without much fuss it would most likely be more optimal. -
I just applied the patches and QT is now building, I will see if it builds (and then modify the app).
Its already a custom fork of QT 4.7.4 so adding extra patches to that isn't a major problem for my use case :)
