    Description

      Qt WebEngine differs from Qt WebKit in that it uses it's own network stack. This is also visible in the way certificates are handled.

      • QSslConfiguration is not used
      • WebEngine uses the root certificates from the OS
      • Errors due to invalid certificates can be handled by WebEngineView::certificateError / QWebEnginePage::certificateError

      I guess we need to extend this in the future ... anyhow, for the moment documenting the current state (and also mentioning it in the porting guidelines) is a step forward.
