I don’t think SSL will ever be the default form of a socket system, but if 4.8.0 is as you say, I would like to know the answer too.

You just got me wrong, i said 4.7.4 has it enabled and 4.8.0 has it not enabled. It is the opposite than you understood me.

SSL support in Qt is implemented by using external libraries like OpenSSL. For licensing reasons, Qt can neither ship with OpenSSL nor be linked directly against it. It uses a load-the-DLL-at-runtime approach to test whether SSL libs are installed on your system. Thus, the OpenSSL libs need to be stored in a path that is accessible by the application.

Thanks Volker, that sounds good. But where do i get this dll’s which are linked against 4.8.0 RC?

Sorry, I don’t know that. If it does not work with the RC I would suggest opening a bug report on the public Jira [bugreports.qt.nokia.com] – or search there whether it has been reported.

But make sure, that the OpenSSL libs are available to your application. Either install them in a system directory like C:/windows/… or in the directory containing your .exe.

Hi Volker, I would like to know which libs i need for Windows and where i can get them, before i raise a bug report?

You can get the DLLs from here [slproweb.com]

I did not try whether it works with MinGW, thought. That’s still on my TODO list.

Volker, you are a genius, that worked like a charm. Thank you very much!
