264390 - If validation script on SSL page returns false, an error is generated.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Bob M]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

The URL above asks for various information, and performs a JavaScript test to
see if required forms are filled out.

If the form is incomplete, the OnSubmit script sets form.action =
"javascript:void(0)" to prevent navigation, dispays a warning dialog and then
returns false.  

This works fine in IE, but gives an error that "information you have entered is
to be sent over an unencrypted connection and can easily be read by a third
party" in Firefox.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to  URL (Yes I know the cert is expired, we will fix that.)
2. Click submit without filling out the form.
3. Dismiss first (normal) warning to get warning about unencrypted data.

Actual Results:  
Got "information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection
and can easily be read by a third party" error message.

Expected Results:  
Not give this message.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
