1056620 - Browser doesn't warn user about certificate error

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Browser, defect)

Description

[Patrick Wang (Chih-Kai Wang) (:kk1fff)]

STR:
1. Set phone time to 10 years ago, to produce SSL error.
2. Open an https site, like facebook, for example.

Expect:
Certificate error page or some warning message should be displayed to let user know that there is an SSL error.

Actual:
Nothing is shown, and the window remains blank.


I actually don't know what is the expected behavior. In old browser, we have the yellow error page. Is the error page supposed to be shown for this case?

I believe so, yes. Do you see ErrorPage.js being loaded in logcat?

[Patrick Wang (Chih-Kai Wang) (:kk1fff)]

Yes, I saw its log, along with log of certificate error. But the page is not shown on screen.

I have this issue on Flatfish device too, with version 2.2.0.0-prerelease (build id 20140904013801).
Any certificate error leads to a white blank page, instead of the yellow error page.

That is working properly in current 2.2 builds.

QA wanted to check on 2.1

Attachment: Flame 2.2 and 2.1 website comparison screenshot

Issue is reproducible on Flame 2.2 master and Flame 2.1.

Observed behavior on Flame 2.2: Facebook correctly shows a yellow warning page, but on other pages such as Twitter.com or Gmail.com, browser displays an error "Unable to connect" and user can only "Try again" or "Close". See attached screenshot. And tapping on Try Again doesn't help.

On Flame 2.1 it behaves the same except on twitter.com or gmail.com, instead of showing an Unable to Connect error it shows a blank page.

Tested on:

Browser2 isn't implemented on 2.0 but I checked it for reference anyway.

Issue does NOT occur on Flame 2.0. Browser correctly shows the yellow warning page when attempting to connect to facebook.com, twitter.com, and gmail.com.

Device: Flame 2.0

----------

Not adding regression keyword since Browser2 only implemented on 2.1 onwards.
