CutyCapt issue with SSL URL

Question

I am having a problem getting CutyCapt to work with SSL URLs, I have the most recent version of CutyCapt (CutyCapt.cpp 10 2013-07-14 21:57:37Z), it works perfect with all non-SSL URLs, when I try to grab a URL with SSL using the following command:

./xvfb-run ./CutyCapt --min-width=1280 --min-height=720 --max-wait=6000 \
     --url="https://apple.com" --out="testssl.jpg"

I get the following error:

QPainter::begin: Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 3

QPainter::setRenderHint: Painter must be active to set rendering hints

QPainter::setBrush: Painter not active

QPainter::pen: Painter not active

QPainter::setPen: Painter not active

QPainter::end: Painter not active, aborted

./xvfb-run: line 171: kill: (6557) - No such process

---

Note: when I run it with no HTTPS, it runs fine:

 ./xvfb-run ./CutyCapt --min-width=1280 --min-height=720 --max-wait=6000 \
     --url="http://apple.com" --out="testssl.jpg"

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

For anyone else stumbling upon this like me.

Install Qt5 (you're going to need it). You're going to run into several package issues, just google each error and you'll fix them(you'll be back on StackOverflow several times).

After that, install the latest CutyCapt, and run it with the --insecure parameter. This worked for me on Ubuntu 14.04.
