QNetworkAccessManager isn't maintaining the SSL protocol set in QSslConfiguration set in QNetworkRequest

The server I'm trying to connect to is a TLS server, and cannot use SSLv3 (unauthorized). I'm using QNetworkAccessManager to make connections to the server, so I have to configure the QSslConfiguration object within the QNetworkRequest.

{
  QNetworkAccessManager *manager = new QNetworkAccessManager(this);
  connect(manager, SIGNAL(finished(QNetworkReply*)),
          this, SLOT(replyFinished(QNetworkReply*)));

  QNetworkRequest networkRequest(QUrl("https://www.testtlsserver.com"));
  QSslConfiguration sslConfig = networkRequest.sslConfiguration();
  sslConfig.setProtocol(QSsl::TlsV1);
  networkRequest.setSslConfiguration(sslConfig);

  manager->get(networkRequest);
}

I have a current workaround for this issue, which is to set the default configuration using the static function QSslConfiguration::setDefaultConfiguration, but I should not have to use this; I should be able to apply a different ssl configuration towards unique network requests.

The other problem is I get an "UnknownNetworkError" when I'm trying to connect to a server through an unsupported SSL protocol. After diving through Qt code, I found an error string in QIODevice reporting this; SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number. This should be a valid error, or at least be recorded as a SslHandshakeFailedError. Also, the sslErrors() SIGNAL from QNetworkAccessManager should be able to pick up this error, but it does not. It should be able to pick it up, so then I could change the protocol to use in the QNetworkReply* so that the connection tries the handshake again with a different ssl configuration. That, or allow QSslConfiguration in the QNetworkRequest and/or QNetworkReply be able to use the QSsl::AnyProtocol object. That way, both protocols can be used and attempted.
