Merge branch '4.7' of scm.dev.nokia.troll.no:qt/oslo-staging-1 into 4.7-integration

* '4.7' of scm.dev.nokia.troll.no:qt/oslo-staging-1:
  Fix a missing error-signal when a server is shut down while downloading
  Ensure that if this is does not have a valid filter when on XP or less
  HTTP backend: fix build without Qt3 support
  QNetworkAccessManager: enable synchronous HTTP calls
