Can WebView ignore SSL Certificate errors?

[Lee <t.lee.davidson@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am loading a website in a WebView that always causes SSL handshake errors and somewhat randomly a SSL Certificate error. I 
suspect the Certificate error is due to a randomly displayed advertisement on the target website as its domain name is 
different. This is a sample of the errors including the random Certificate error:

~~~~~~
[13424:13457:0506/142520.651685:ERROR:ssl_client_socket_impl.cc(960)] handshake failed; returned -1, SSL error code 1, net_error 
-101
[13424:13457:0506/142520.699105:ERROR:ssl_client_socket_impl.cc(960)] handshake failed; returned -1, SSL error code 1, net_error 
-100
[13424:13450:0506/142557.182793:ERROR:cert_verify_proc_builtin.cc(637)] CertVerifyProcBuiltin for eyeota.ck-ie.com failed:

[13424:13457:0506/142557.183694:ERROR:ssl_client_socket_impl.cc(960)] handshake failed; returned -1, SSL error code 1, net_error 
-201
[13424:13457:0506/142603.344811:ERROR:ssl_client_socket_impl.cc(960)] handshake failed; returned -1, SSL error code 1, net_error 
-101
[13424:13457:0506/142603.444789:ERROR:ssl_client_socket_impl.cc(960)] handshake failed; returned -1, SSL error code 1, net_error 
-100
~~~~~~

The website eventually loads, but it can take over 60 seconds to do it.

I am certain that I could not inherit WebView and get at its internals with Gambas code. But if I am wrong, I like to know.

Would it be a complex task to add a "Ignore Certificate Errors" flag to WebSettings?


And, BTW, is completion of the gb.qt5.webview documentation somewhere on the Gambas roadmap? (I can't do it on the Wiki because 
the symbols are loaded by "@symbols".)
