I am currently on 4.6.3 and I have the commercial version of Qt. I do not rebuild the binaries; I use the binaries provided to me by the download link when a new release is made. I am running on Windows. Are there some extra things that I need to do to get it to work? Maybe I am missing a plugin or something? I am not real sure where to go from here. I tried to find some documentation on it on the doc site, but I cannot seem to find anything related to SSL. Thank you!
