The https implementation in Konqueror is incomplete. As of 2.2.2 it is
much more complete, although the code to test CN=hostname doesn't work
properly. This is fixed in KDE 2.2 branch CVS and KDE 3.x HEAD branch. KDE
3.0 should feature a more-or-less full HTTPS implementation finally.
Most of the incomplete code and bugs in KDE SSL are documented anyways.
