It's inside QtWebKit. Mac has another copy of it, inside its own WebKit 
framework.

Check if you have OpenSSL available. It might be that the requests fail 
because they are HTTPS and there's no SSL support.

If you're compiling on Mac from source, you may try the -securetransport 
option, which  uses the Mac API instead of OpenSSL.

No, QtWebKit uses exactly the version that is in its source code.

With all the bugs that exist in it, including security issues.

Hint: stop using QtWebKit.
