[Bug 1504853] Re: Certificate errors in the browser are confusing

 

I might shelve this for 1.11. There's a few issues with the way WebView
and our RenderWidgetHostView implementation interact when
InterstitialPage is used which requires some extra work to make this
shippable. I've pushed the changes I have so far in my branch

** Changed in: oxide
    Milestone: branch-1.11 => branch-1.12

Title:
  Certificate errors in the browser are confusing

Status in Oxide:
  In Progress
Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When the browser displays a certificate error, it indicates the
  request URL that the error originated from. This is fine. However, if
  the navigation is content initiated then the addressbar will indicate
  the URL of the currently committed page (which will be different to
  the URL of the page causing the error, which is displayed in the error
  UI provided by the browser).

  I have an idea to fix this by navigating the webview to a placeholder
  interstitial page whilst waiting for a response from the browser. This
  will update the addressbar, keep the navigation history consistent and
  also make the back button behave the same as Chrome.
