In response to 37: Replaced with KTcpSocket mostly. It is supposed to offer a simple and KDE-integrated way to use secure connections for KDE applications. It is also not very capable in that regard, yet.
In response to 42: The reason to choose QSslSocket as the first backend to KTcpSocket was simply time pressure. Note however that KTcpSocket can as well use QCA::TLS as a backend and I tried as far as I could to make that possible. Note also that KTcpSocket is not even exported yet so necessary changes can be made.
Alon: If you want to do something you should start ASAP so KTcpSocket can be made public soon, with Smartcard support. We'd need to figure out how to handle UI interaction and while doing that some related backend<->UI problems could be solved in one go.
