212844 - SSL connection established but no way for the user to know this

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 149207

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Mike Coppins]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

Using www.stenaline.com to do an online booking - the page design uses frames -
when the user gets to the page that takes credit card details, the centre frame
uses SSL, and Mozilla successfully negotiates this, however, there is no
indication that it is using SSL, not even right clicking next to the credit card
text box and requesting page/connection properties says unencrypted.  In IE6 it
says it is using SSL.  I verified the SSL usage in Mozilla with a netstat at the
appropriate time.

/Perhaps/ two issues here, very similiar issues.  The first one is outlined
above, the second one is that the padlock symbol doesn't change from unlocked in
any way (probably because the entire frameset isn't encrypted).  The second
issue depends on what Mozilla's policy is on this.  IE also doesn't show a
padlock symbol with this setup, however it does show on page properties that the
frame in question is being sent over SSL.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Expected results - Mozilla should at least have in the frame properties that the
frame in question is being sent over SSL.
