[Qgis-user] SSL Support in QGIS Builds, esp. Windows and MacOSX

[Andreas Neumann]

ok - I did a test with the "all in one bundle" from 
http://download.osgeo.org/qgis/mac/qgis-0.10.0.dmg.gz and I could 
successfully connect using SSL. Good!

I used MacOSX10 Tiger, 10.4.11

I didn't yet have the chance to get hold of a Windows Computer - will 
test that tomorrow at work and report if it doesn't work.

Thanks a lot,
Andreas
