Function Documentation
bool SslUi::askIgnoreSslErrors(const KSslErrorUiData &uiData, KIO::SslUi::RulesStorage storedRules = RecallAndStoreRules)
If there are errors while establishing an SSL encrypted connection to a peer, usually due to certificate issues, and since this poses a security issue, we need confirmation from the user about how they wish to proceed.
This function provides a dialog asking the user if they wish to abort the connection or ignore the SSL errors that occurred and continue connecting. And in case of the latter whether to remember the decision in the future or ignore the error temporarily.
uiData the KSslErrorUiData object constructed from the socket that is trying to establish the encrypted connection
