1064350 - Unable to add permanent exception for SSL certs with invalid hostname

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Lucas Verney [:Phyks]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0
Build ID: 20140901122935

Steps to reproduce:

It seems to be impossible to add permanent exception for an SSL cert with an invalid hostname, in Firefox 1.3.

Steps to reproduce :
1. Visit a website serving a SSL cert with an incorrect Common Name (for instance https://rss.phyks.me/, which as of writing this issue is configured to serve a SSL certificate valid only for phyks.me and www.phyks.me).
2. A SSL error is shown in the browser. Click "Add permanent exception".
3. The page reloads, but we still get this error.



Expected results:

Adding a "permanent exception" leads to think that the page will load, despite this invalid certificate. That's not the case.

P.S. : I did not set any component, as I'm not sure it only affects the browser. In "glowing bear" (weechat client app from the marketplace), I have the same kind of errors and this prevents me from using this app.
