I get SSLv3 from blog.mozilla.org, but TLSv1.2 from mail.google.com.

Checking "qDebug() << QSslSocket::defaultCiphers();", "QSslCipher(name=ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384, bits=256, proto=TLSv1.2)" is top of the list here and most SSLv3 variants on the very bottom.

--> THERE IS NO TLSv1.1 IN THAT LIST, NOR IN "::supportedCiphers()"

However, I don't know why QSslSocket doesn't provide TLSv1.1 (here)
