 I checked the source code of KDE 4.3 and did some debugging. The mechanism that is proposed by the (second) patch is now part of the KTcpSocket class source code. As KtcpSocket is used by all main kio slaves (i. e. kio_http, kio_smtp) applications like Konqueror, KMail and others are SSL capable again in KDE 4.3.

Background:
The KTcpSocket class uses a central certificate list in directory /usr/share/kde4/apps/kssl/ca-bundle.crt. The user can also specify an own list in ~/.kde/share/apps/kssl which will be loaded in addition to the central list.
