[Interest] How to trust certificates for QWebPage

[Richard Moore]

What you need to do is create your own CA certificate, then generate a leaf
certificate that is signed by it for your server. You then get the
QNetworkAccessManager that you're using to load the content for your
QWebPage and get its QSslConfiguration. Finally use setCaCertificate on the
configuration to tell it to trust certificates signed by your custom CA.

Cheers

Rich.
