Quoting Peter : 

"Did you connect to https://skandiabanken.no? The certificate is issued
for www.skandiabanken.no, so you need to connect to
https://www.skandiabanken.no, then it works.

Similar problem with https://gmail.com : The certificate is issued for
mail.google.com, so entering https://mail.google.com works. It works for
4.8 because we use a feature called Server Name Indication; btw.
browsing to https://gmail.com fails for several older versions of
browsers, e.g. it fails with any IE on Windows XP.

So no bug in Qt, just the usual certificate stuff.

In general, it is just a bad idea to enter https:// addresses manually
unless you know the exact host name contained in the certificate.
"

The demo browser doesn't have a proper handling for certificates like FF or other do (well it's a demo :D).

If I get no objections I'll be for closing the bug and with 4.8, the sky will be clearer.
