Yeah.. I read this very piece of code from the manual before I posted.

I am just not quite sure how the functionality of incomingConnection() relates to the functionality of nextPendingConnection() such that I can rework that part of the program. I will take a look at the Qt source for these functions later on and see if I cant see what is different about the suggested incomingConnection() in the manual for SSL, and the original non-ssl are, which should give me a clue as to what to do about incommingConnection() hopefully.
