SSL support is pretty tricky. And I don't think linking in to OpenSSL at=20
kdecore is wanted.

In any event, KExtendedSocket is going depreciated if all goes well, so=20
I don't like the idea of modifying that code now. The new API should be=20
modified instead.

The big problem with that is that KExtendedSocket uses always KSocks to=20
implement I/O. This makes it a lot more difficult to implement SSL=20
support.

However, if you really want to help me on this, a QSocketImpl-derived=20
class would probably suit you better. See the libqt-addon documentation=20
(http://www.thiago.macieira.info/~thiago/libqt-addon-doc/). It could be=20
loaded as a plugin or part of Kopete code. The high-level socket=20
classes should be able to cope with that.
