709461 - Provide Site Identification information for sites without SSL certificates

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Tomer Cohen :tomer]

I got this crazy idea from an anonymous user on our community forum, so some credits should go to her. http://mozilla.org.il/board/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=10773


When accessing sites that does not provide SSL certificate, we get the message "This site doesn't provide identification information" by watching the site info dialog. This is not completely true as even sites that does not provide SSL certificate have some identifiable information available. 

My suggestion is to place some information about the site owners into the site info panel instead or in addition to the "no identification information" message. We can retrieve some identifiable data from the domain WHOIS records, as well as from other channels such as DNS txt records or HTML author metadata.
