=CI problems=


* Network tests fail a lot. Proposed solutions to avoid running network tests:
* Move QtNetwork into its own git module
** Thiago: Network cannot swapped out into its own module, due to dbus reqiring it in the future
* Only run network tests when code affecting QtNetwork has changed -> more likely
* Gurantees for VMs
* <span class="caps">CPU</span> time
* Swapping a problem?
* Proposed Solution: Give more resources to VM tests. Frederik to take care.
* Debugging of Network error causes:
** Rich and Peter to sign <span class="caps">NDA</span> with Digia to get <span class="caps">VPN</span> access. Tuuka is involved, will start after holidays
* CI resources are not well used, getting fixed in the future (Frederik)
=<span class="caps">SOCKS</span> Proxy code=
* The code is horrible (Thiago)
* We are not currently testing against <span class="caps">SSH</span> (the most common usecase probably), only Dante
* The tests have been unstable, will be disabled for now
* Rich volunteered to look into it at some point
=<span class="caps">NTLM</span>=
* Tests are disabled
* Before, we used Linux machines. Would be nice to also run against Windows Servers to get coverage for Domain credential use.
* Digia would get a Windows Server VM up and running, danimo to provide instructions to Frederik
=<span class="caps">SSL</span>=
* Rich hates the <span class="caps">SSL</span> errors <span class="caps">API</span>, the design is wrong, sometimes still requires a subeventloop, The concept of “accepting error” is wrong, you accept a chain. On top, there are different errors with different versions of OpenSSL. We need a new <span class="caps">API</span>.
* The new <span class="caps">API</span> would be a lot simpler: Rubberstamp the chain, instead of individual errors. The current <span class="caps">API</span> leads to “overacceptance”, essentially to <span class="caps">SSL</span> errors.
* Possbilities for a predefined UI: No single UI will fit all purposes, but we can make it easier by providing a clear <span class="caps">API</span> that just needs to be hooked into Widgets/QML.
=Qt 5.4 goals=
* Rich: QSslServer Class, in lieu of QTcpServer
* Peter: Persistent Store: <span class="caps">TLS</span> session tickets, <span class="caps">HSTS</span>, Intermediate Certs,Cookies
* iOS backend progressing well, would be nice to get in
