KDE's Konqueror browser also cannot browse bugs.meego.com over SSL. It
outputs the following error:

It's as if the WebKit based browsers (such as Konqueror) do not
recognize Go Daddy as CA. (Note the empty certificate chain and "this
certificate is not signed by any trusted authority" in image above).

FireFox4 has the GoDaddy cert built-in and therefore recognizes it:

Perhaps the webkit based browsers need the GoDaddy CA certificate
added on or installed separately in order to browse/login to
bugs.meego.com. Typically most browsers have some way of adding
private or unrecognized certificates.

If the web transaction fails as early as checking the validity of the
SSL certificate, you will certainly see very little on the wire. It
will bail out immediately, as you noted, with a "handshake failure."
That's the whole point of using a
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_infrastructure in the first
place.

Why is cheapskate GoDaddy certificate being used in the first place? I
always associated GoDaddy with pornsites and other fly-by-night
businesses. Certainly not for "serious" websites.

Doesn't meego.com deserve a pricy and widely recognized Verisign cert?
Also, to keep MeeGo.com's certificates "under control" it might be
wise (as opposed to pound foolish) to use the same wildcard cert
(*.meego.com) for all MeeGo.com sites needing SSL (e.g. OBS, wiki,
etc).  http://www.verisign.com/ssl-certificates/wildcard-ssl-certificates/
