There are a
number of places where KDE "does its own thing" although
standard and more modern libraries have come along since KDE was
developed. SSL certificate management is another one, and one that
particularly concerns me in the light of the number of certificate
revocations lately.
If a modern, widely-available and maintained library does a better job
than an old (small) internal library in TDE, a bug report should be filed
as a feature request to use the new library.
Note that these bug reports may take a long time to resolve, depending on
the size of the library to be replaced.
Thanks for the guidance, Timothy. I realise something like changing
the SSL certificate handling would be quite a massive job, of course.
But libmagic might be do-able. I'll have a look when time permits.
