When the SSL certificate common name contains an unqualified domain name, for example, "mail.google.com", browsing to the fully qualified name, for example https://mail.google.com./ (note the trailing period), causes a certificate validation error.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse to an SSL-secured site using a fully qualified domain name.

Actual Results:  
Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain

Expected Results:  
The SSL certificate should be accepted.

The common name or subject alternative name should be accepted if the user enters a trailing period.
