1715417 - Local PDFs viewed with pdf.js are marked as notSecure by the identity handler

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1699658

(Firefox :: Security, defect)

Description

[Shane Hughes [:aminomancer]]

Attachment: pdfjs-notsecure-bug.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0

Steps to reproduce:

• Open a local PDF file in firefox

Actual results:

• Identity box/popup show as not secure
• Comments here seem to suggest this is intentional, but the protocol obviously isn't HTTP in this case?

Expected results:

• Shouldn't local PDFs be marked localResource like any other local file? Or at the very least it should just check for mixed content I guess

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: Security' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Thanks! This is a duplicate of Bug 1699658. The file URI in the example should be marked as local file, not insecure.
