QSslSocket addCaCertificates() missing in documentation?

[halfgaar]

I was trying to set up an SSL server by inheriting from QTcpServer but could not get the handshake done. Either there were no bytes sent to the client, or when I left out QSslSocket::setLocalCertificateChain(), it worked, but no chain was sent (as tested with openssl s_client -connect). Then I just went through the autocomplete list in QtCreator, and found QSslSocket::addCaCertificates(). That worked.

I'm using Qt 5.9.5, but even when I inspect header files for 5.12, QSslSocket::addCaCertificates() (and singular) methods aren't deprecated. Shouldn't they be in the page for QSslSocket? There is no other mention of making sure sending chains works when calling startServerEncryption().

For the record, this is the overridden incomingConnection():

void SslServer::incomingConnection(qintptr socketDescriptor)
{
	QSslSocket *serverSocket = new QSslSocket;
	if (serverSocket->setSocketDescriptor(socketDescriptor))
	{
		serverSocket->addCaCertificates(chainCerts);
		serverSocket->setLocalCertificate(cert);
		serverSocket->setPrivateKey(sslKey);

		connect(serverSocket, QOverload<const QList<QSslError> &>::of(&QSslSocket::sslErrors), this, &SslServer::onSslErrors);
		connect(serverSocket, SIGNAL(error(QAbstractSocket::SocketError)), this, SLOT(onSocketError(QAbstractSocket::SocketError)));

		serverSocket->startServerEncryption();

		addPendingConnection(serverSocket);

	}
	else
	{
		delete serverSocket;
	}
}

Looks like a documentation bug. I'll upload a patch.
I misread your post. addCaCertifcates() is deprecated: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsslsocket-obsolete.html
