Description
Reuse the loader code from the QtGui platform plugin.
List of possible uses, from old internal task QT-406:
- the default Certificate Authority (CA) list
- the SSL ciphers allowed (e.g., disabling of low-grade ciphers)
- system proxy settings (i.e., user configuration)
- ability to intercept some networking signals, like sslErrors() and authenticationRequired(): again, user configuration, like "don't tell me
that this certificate has expired" or KWallet integration - backend for the Bearer Management system integration (for example, NetworkManager requires D-Bus)
- Default QNetworkAccessManager HTTP user-agent.
