We're talking about libkio (kio/kssl) here, not Konqueror or even 
kio_http.

This is actually like the "broken DNS server" list: we have to work around 
bugs in other people's sites in very low level stuff in our libraries.

And like the "broken DNS server" list, this should be something we ship, 
not something users configure. They'll always think it's Konqueror at 
fault, not the website they're trying to use and will never look for a 
solution in the configuration.
