QSslSocket Behaviour Linux vs macOS (possibly LibreSSL incompatibilities?)

Markus M.

@SGaist Nope. Same OS version, same Qt version... hence my surprise. I tried OpenSSL 1.1, but it seems incompatible with earlier versions as well as with the SSL classes in JDK, which my clients use. So no option for now

SGaist

OpenSSL 1.1 requires a different backend. The 1.1 release broke API and ABI compatibility with the 1.0 release, hence you have to do a specific build of Qt or any library/application using OpenSSL.

@SGaist I did a fresh macOS install using a VM and can confirm the issue is resolved in stock macOS High Sierra using XCode 9.4.1, Command Line Tools 10.1 for High Sierra and standard Qt 5.12.0 installation.

Guess I have to find some path/ssl lib or similar getting in the way on my Macbook, but this should not be any of your concern.

Again, thanks for support.

Issue solved.

@SGaist Done!

Fyi: did not find what was wrong; after a clean install everything is working as intended.

Thx

Software mysteries... You may have gremlins playing with your machine ;-)

@SGaist Yeh, pretty likely :-)

Checked every single dylib, libcrypto.* libssl.*, but no luck. Reinstalling took me half the time in comparison to investigating the issue...
