I’m not seeing the loading sequence time out. Instead, it completes
pretty quickly here. However I am observing that the contents are
incompletely loaded, and indeed the amount of contents rendered varies
from time to time (but the pages are never fully rendered).

  Web browser only partially loads self-signed https sites

Bug description:
  Note: This bug report has been split off bug #1656551 (which has been
  fixed with today's OTA-15). As this problem persists, it is obviously
  independend from that bug.

  The browser on my Ubuntu Phone (Meizu MX-4, OTA 15) does not open some https-secured sites with self-signed certificates. The browser correctly presents a warning about the self-signed ssl cert. It then presents the option to go back to a safe site or continue anyway. If I choose continue anyway, the browser should accept the certificate and proceed loading the site.
  Instead, it starts to load the site, but never completes. After some time it stops loading and displays a rather incomplete version of the site. It is clearly composed of only some of the pages' elements and incomplete. The amount of the page that is displayed varies from time to time.
  It appears that transmission times out while loading the page.

  Test cases:
  1) Try loading the web interface of my router: https://rkupper.no-ip.org/. This site uses a self-signed certificate, which is correctly displayed as a security risk. But self-signed certificates are a common use case on DSL or cable routers' web interfaces. Choose "continue anyway". You should see the login page of a fritz box router. Observe that the site is incompletely loaded and the login button does nothing at all.
  2) I have confirmed that problem with other fritz box routers as well.
  3) There's another web server running at my site on
  https://rkupper.no-ip.org:444/
  It also uses a self-signed certificate. You should see the login page of a nextcloud instance. Observe that graphics is incompletely loaded and the login button (if displayed) does nothing. Thus it is not a problem specific to fritz box routers.
