SUMMARY That "SSL Certificate error!" but it seems to happen when loading a non existent page (404) of a popular website. existing urls of the same website would otherwise accept the handshake. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. In falkon search for https://www.theguardian.com/exampleBadURL 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT output: [11445:11460:0517/145756.472087:ERROR:ssl_client_socket_impl.cc(941)] handshake failed; returned -1, SSL error code 1, net_error -200 Then: "SSL Certificate error!" dialog. EXPECTED RESULT No handshake failed prompt (for the right reasons of course!) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 5.18 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.69.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Currently can only repro with this site. Doesn't happen with say reddit or with google but does happen with The Guardian (Guardian is a major newspaper in the UK). It also doesn't occur if an instance of the page is open on another Tab. Something is off!
Having looked at the issue this is out of the scope of falkon and more of a QtWebEngine issue. You will also get the same behavior using the simple browser sample.
Thanks for the update; changing status.
