User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20110322 Firefox/4.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20110322 Firefox/4.0

Having security.warn_submit_insecure set to true should trigger a warning when a site tries to submit data by doing an ajax request.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set security.warn_submit_insecure to true
2. goes on a website using ajax to submit data (like the URL specified in this BR)

Actual Results:  
triggering an ajax request won't warn you.

Expected Results:  
warning dialog.
Tested with that url and I can reproduce the bug

To be fair, I only agree with your opinion in the case of insecure ajax requests.
