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, -- marm
