873394 - Cannot add an exception for an expired certificate (this certificate is valid and does not require an exception)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 660749

(Core :: Security: PSM, defect)

Description

[Frederik Braun [:freddy]]

I tried visiting this web page (nothing too special about it, the cert is expired): https://csptest.computerist.org/
The usual cert warning dialog comes: This Connection is Untrusted (about:certerror...)

When I click on "I Understand the Risks" and "Add Exception" the dialog says:
"Valid Certificate: This site provides valid, verified identification. There is no need to add an exception".

If I click on "View.." again, it says "Could not verify this certificate because it is expired"


This is on changeset:   132174:ea767da526ff (I *just* built from mozilla-central)

Try clearing your cache. If that fixes it, then it's due to the bug where we don't re-validate certificates for entries retrieved from the HTTP cache.

Confirming that clearing the cache solves this exact issue (connection is insecure, but the certificate is ok on the exception confirmation page). If this ticket is related to another, maybe they should be linked or this closed as a duplicate.
