Subject: CVE Request -- kdebase4 (konqueror) -- Incomplete SSL Certificate
 support in KDE4

Hello Steve,

  not sure if original Debian bug [1] reporter meant this insufficiency,
but [2] might be interesting for your attention. While this is not
direct security vulnerability, is is preventing users from using
the functionality provided by digital certificates.

This issue is present only in Konqueror web browser, as shipped
with the K Desktop Environment 4 (kdebase-4.*). Konqueror in
kdebase3 works fine.

Regards, Jan.
