No, I'm not using a proxy. After much scratching of head and playing,
I discovered what was going on - if all three of TLS, SSLv2 and SSLv3
are enabled (as is the default) then the https support is broken on my
machine. If, however, I deselect one of these (any one), then
magically, it starts working. SSLv2 & SSLv3 together - works fine.
TLS & SSLv2 together - works fine. TLS & SSLv3 together - works fine.
Any of them on their own - works fine (although lots of sites now
reject SSLv2 for security reasons, and not many support TLS yet). All
three selected - no go, kio_http dies.
So, for the moment at least, I've just turned off TLS support and
everything works ok.
It's a weird bug, especially as no-one else has confirmed it yet. This
is an old machine (PII-233) and I'm wondering if it's something
timing-dependent that gets masked by a faster processor. I had a quick
look at the source, but kssl is a large module and depends on OpenSSL
which is very large indeed, so I found myself a bit out of my depth.
Anyway, reported it to the KDE bug tracking system, will see if it gets
fixed.
Thanks for being patient,
