Bug 326005

I'm attempting to use knode to connect to an IBM Connections based forum with authenticated NNTP.  Lotus Connections has a forum capability embedded and there is a (probably quite dodgy) bridge to allow users to post/read these forums via NNTP.

At the moment I've got as far as configuring an account with my username/password, pointing at the server name and port 563 for SSL authentication.  I should say I use KNode for other forums and they are working fine.  I also connect to Lotus Connections forums via Thunderbird (which I'd like to replace with KNode) at the moment and this is working fine (slowly at least but it does work).

Following the instructions at http://techbase.kde.org/User:Nive/KNode to create debug output...

I see the following in ~/.xsession-errors:
QObject::connect: Cannot connect (null)::destroyed() to QHostInfoLookupManager::waitForThreadPoolDone()

I see the following on the command line if I start KNode via a shell prompt (I have changed my email address, the server name and the forum name in the text below):

KNode itself just reports "Timeout on Server" in the user interface.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start KNode
2. Configure an NNTP connection to a forum hosted on IBM Connections
3. View list of forums
4. Subscribe to one (or more) forums
5. Attempt to read forum
Actual Results:  
KNode reports "Timeout on Server" in the user interface

Expected Results:  
KNode shows the content of the forum and allows normal interactions with it
