"HTTP request failed" on certain HTTPS pages

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Visit any webpage with a problematic certificate (self-signed certificates 
work best)
2. Select "Yes" from both popup windows (ignore errors, and accept certificates)
3. Observe the result: "HTTP request failed"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected output would be the page itself (which renders fine on every other 
https 
capable browser, once the warnings are taken care of).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Git snapshot as of 2008-07-14 18:30, on Ubuntu Hardy (with qt4.4 from 
hardy-backports as 
of the same day).

Please provide any additional information below.

I've tried it with a few sites, one of them being my bank: https://optbank.hu/ 
- the 
certificate there is for https://www.otpbank.hu/, which displays perfectly. 
Once 
https://www.otpbank.hu/ displayed, https://optbank.hu/ started to work aswell.

The other notable site is https://heaven.interware.hu/ which, while accessible 
for the 
public, is mostly used internally by my company.

The interesting thing is, that seemingly, Arora does connect, and issue the 
request, as far 
as I can see from the apache logs on said host:

XX.XX.XX.XX - - [14/Jul/2008:18:41:31 +0200] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 1771 "-" 
"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux; en-US) AppleWebKit/523.15 (KHTML, like Gecko, 
Safari/419.3)  Arora/0.3 (Change: 250 3a57378)"

I tried the windows version too, downloadable from the googlecode pages (on 
winXP,
latest service pack, etc), with https://webmail.bonehunter.rulez.org/ - that 
worked,
however, it kept popping up a dialog box about the self signed certificate for 
each
and every item on the page, until it crashed after about the 100th dialog. I'll 
see
at work what's the case on linux with the latest git snapshot and my webmail.

While the windows installer version did work - to some extent - the Arora I 
have at work (see version in the 
original report) does not work at all on https://webmail.bonehunter.rulez.org/ 
- I get the two dialog boxes, then an 
error page, even though the server is contacted, and the request gets served.

Aand another update!

Tried it with arora snapshot & QT snapshot as of an hour ago (on ubuntu hardy, 
x86), and it works now, the sites 
display.

Although, getting two popups for each and every element loaded (as explained in 
my first comment) is a wee-bit 
painful, and makes arora unusable for browsing such sites.

I have this problem when I try to log into deviantart.com
Except that I get the message that https://www.deviantart.com/users/login 
request failed and the following: Check the address for errors such as 
ww.arora-browser.org instead of www.arora-browser.org

This was issues in Qt and has been fixed in later 4.5 versions.  Sorry for not
closing this issue earlier.

The deviantart.com issue is #666
