Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Other Applications :: ChatZilla, defect)

Description

[Mardeg]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:12.0a2) Gecko/20120307 Firefox/12.0a2
(Users have also reported this in Firefox 11)

STR:
1. Click the link in the URL field of this bug, see a message saying it "has an invalid security certificate".
2. Attempt to add an exception.

Actual results:
No exception dialog appears and the error console shows no errors when either clicking on the [add an exception] inline button, or entering the following command:
/goto-url x-cz-command:ssl-exception%20irc.nix.co.il%209999%20true

Expected results:
Exception dialog appears to enable connecting over SSL to the IRC server.

Workaround:
Visit https://irc.nix.co.il:9999 in Firefox and add the exception through the browser.

This should be fixed with the fix for bug 736300.

The workaround in the bug didn't work for me, running chatzailla as standalone xulrunner application (from chatzilla-0.9.87-5.1450hg.fc17.noarch). 

My workaround was to type "/ssl-exception irc.nix.co.il 9999% true" command to force the SSL Exception dialog to appear.

This was fixed in ChatZilla 0.9.88.2, so that makes sense. Update CZ and it should work. :-)
