Hello.

On that web page, the solution appears to be in the message;

"
Finally I got it to work! :-) I don’t quite understand it completely
yet, but I do understand that openssl on 12.04 seems to be really
messy after all the bug reports I’ve read. But anyway, I simply had to
replace:
sslConfig.setProtocol( QSsl::TlsV1 );
with
sslConfig.setProtocol( QSsl::SslV3 );
then at least for this specific site it works and for now this is good
enough for me.
"

>From the other messages in that web page, is the problem, a problem
with the handling of SSL, in Debian 6 LTS, or, is it a problem with
the handling of SSL, in Arora?

And, if the solution is to change that line

"
sslConfig.setProtocol( QSsl::TlsV1 );
"

where do I find that line, to make the change?

Thank you in anticipation.
