186192 - Missing error dialog with respect to spec.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 251690

(Core Graveyard :: Security: UI, defect)

Description

[Ralf Hauser]

In the description of the application/x-x509-user-cert, it says that if the
private key is missing, an error dialog is generated. I have tested this several
times and it doesn't happen.

Also, I guess by now I understand the purpose of this MIME type: It appears to
used if a user has uploaded a certificate signing request (CSR) and the CA after
signing will send back the signed certificate? If so, it would be great to add a
statement to this regard to the spec (see URL above).

Indeed, AFAIK, the only reason that mozilla has separate 
application/x-x509-user-cert and application/x-x509-email-cert MIME types
is for additional error handling UI in the event that the user does not
have the private key for cert being downloaded.
