518343 - Clear Recent History should clear Certificate Exceptions when "Site Specific Settings" is checked

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 348601

(Firefox :: Private Browsing, defect, P3)

Description

[Johnathan Nightingale [:johnath]]

This is consistent with our treatment of this information in private browsing mode, where the ability to add permanent exceptions is disabled.

This would be a trivial fix if there were a function on nsICertOverrideService to clearAll(), but should also be easy enough using GetAllOverrideHostsWithPorts and then clearing each one in sequence.

Except that, apparently, GetAllOverrideHostsWithPorts is not yet implemented.

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/security/manager/ssl/public/nsICertOverrideService.idl

So less trivial, but hopefully still straightforward enough.

AFAICT, we don't want to delete all of the exceptions; only the exceptions added during the time period for which we are clearing history.
