I'm in the process of adding better SSL handling to MozNET. I'm sure you don't like it (nor do your users) when accessing a site that XulRunner deems to have an invalid SSL certificate - I know I don't like it. Well, it's time to do something about it. I've seen a few various hacks on the net and don't like how they work - physically moving and/or modifying files, etc.. No more. It can be done without those stupid hacks and I have proof of it..





I know what you may be thinking.. I just navigated the browser to my web site and then replaced the text in the address bar - but, that isn't so Flapper

What you see is the Se7en Soft web site, actually loaded via HTTPS - XulRunner flags my site certificate as invalid by default. The feature may not make it into the next release but, it will appear soon. Just know that it is completely possible to do it's just that it needs to be done correctly.

Just for the record, unlike in this GeckoFX related post, NO XulRunner files were modified to do this!

EDIT: I believe this feature will be implemented in the next release! You'll even be able to fly your own acceptance dialog BigGrin

I know everyone is waiting on this feature to be released but, it's not quite satisfactory to me and I think I can make it better than what it is now. So, just bare with me for a bit while I iron things out, internally. This is something that a lot of people have been wanting for a long time and I'd like to make it as good as it can get before turning it loose.

It's coming.. R15 will have the SSL handling support.
I think I've got the code written about as smoothly as it's gonna' get and I'll be making the feature live with the R15 release for sure.
You will need to provide your own acceptance/denial dialog with this feature as it is prompted via MozUserPrompting, which requires you to create your own dialogs anyway.

I don't have an explicit release date for R15 but, it shouldn't be more than a few days to a week, tops.

Glad to read it.

R14v2 is a very great release with the custom dialogs.
R15 will add SSL support, I can't imagine how good will be R16 haha Flapper

R15 is available and you should have links in your account page!

It has been brought to my attention that some https sites are still not working with the new ssl feature. I've taken a look at these sites, revised a few lines of code and the feature is fixed for the R16 release.
