To add HTTPS capabilities to the autopilot test suite, we need a way to
inject custom root certificates into oxide. Oxide has a test helper
called oxideSetNSSDbPath(…) but it’s not a public API, so it can’t be
used by webbrowser-app. There is also a patch in oxide that removes the
ability to load a shared NSS database from $HOME/.pki/nssdb/, so we
can’t point $HOME to a temporary directory and add custom certificates
there.

According to https://bugs.launchpad.net/oxide/+bug/1260048/comments/10,
chromium is going to move away from NSS at some point in the future
anyway.

This bug is now blocked on oxide using a custom, application-specific
place to store custom certificates.

Title:
  Support HTTPS in webbrowser-app autopilot test suite

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The webbrowser-app autopilot test suite currently uses a test HTTP
  server. In the near future, it will need to gain support for HTTPS for
  some tests (e.g. those that embed getUserMedia() calls in HTML):

      [JS] (:0) getUserMedia() is deprecated on insecure origins, and
  support will be removed in the future. You should consider switching
  your application to a secure origin, such as HTTPS. See
  https://goo.gl/rStTGz for more details.
