Well, despite no replies I haven't given up.  What I've found is that I'll 
need to create my own class based on QNetworkAccessManager and override the 
sslErrors() method.  Here's the class I am trying:

class myNetworkManager(QNetworkAccessManager):
    """Implemented to override certain aspects of the network access, such as 
SSL certificate errors"""
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(QNetworkAccessManager, self).__init__(parent)
        
    def sslErrors(reply, errors):
        reply.ignoreSslErrors()

Now what I don't understand is how to make my QWebView use this class.  I know 
that QWebPage has a setNetworkAccessManager() method, but I've tried various 
ways to connect these bits and nothing works yet.

Do I have to subclass QWebPage or QWebView ?
