[SOLVED] SSL handshake failed on Mac, the same code works fine on Windows

[infoctopus]

Hi,

I'm using Qt 5.3.1 installed via online installers both for Windows (8.1 x64) and MacOS (10.9.4).

When I try to load into a QWebView just any site via https protocol I'm getting 'SSL handshake failed'. Exactly the same code works fine on Windows.

Any hints what's wrong on Mac?

Should I build Qt from sources with openssl-linked option or it's already built with it?

thanks

The error message I see is in the WebKit's Inspector console

Hi,

IIRC, OS X provided OpenSSL is old, so indeed you should rather build Qt yourself like you suggested and use a more recent version from e.g. macports

SGaist, ok thanks, will give it a try

were no need to rebuild Qt. The issue was caused by self-signed certificate. Subclassing QWebView and ignoring SSL errors has been enough.

Strange that under Windows the same code works fine when loading the same website (with self-signed certificate).
