You should just be able to set the network access manager on the QWebPage
returned by the QWebView's page() method. I don't know if this will do
everything you need.

I'm curious about the need to subclass QNetworkAccessManager. I would have
thought that simply connecting the sslErrors signal to a slot and calling
the ignoreSslErrors() method of the QNetworkReply object passes to it would
do what you need. Reimplementing the sslErrors signal in a subclass may not
work as you might expect.
