Well, despite no replies I haven't given up. What I've found is that I'll
need to create my own class based on QNetworkAccessManager and override the
sslErrors() method. Here's the class I am trying:
class myNetworkManager(QNetworkAccessManager):
"""Implemented to override certain aspects of the network access, such as
SSL certificate errors"""
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(QNetworkAccessManager, self).__init__(parent)
def sslErrors(reply, errors):
reply.ignoreSslErrors()
Now what I don't understand is how to make my QWebView use this class. I know
that QWebPage has a setNetworkAccessManager() method, but I've tried various
ways to connect these bits and nothing works yet.
Do I have to subclass QWebPage or QWebView ?
