Works but only if I have my webUI open in another tab

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What version of Chrome are you using? On what operating system?
41.0.2272.76, WIN 7 x64

What client (version?) are you connecting to? Are you using SSL?
ruTorrent 3.6, SSL = True

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Right click on a torrent and add to remote WebUI gives error
2.Open a new tab and connect to my WebUI
3.Go back to tab with the torrent I want to download and right click again to 
download and it works

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I do not want to have to open a new tab in order to download a torrent. Instead 
I have to add an extra step or two in order to download.

that sounds like the authentication is either really weirdly set up in which 
case you'll have to provide more details about your configuration, or you've 
simply set the wrong login/password details in the settings of the extension. 
try re-doing the latter first.

I copied and pasted the login details and still a no go. I have a server 
running owncloud, rutorrent, and web hosting. Only rutorrent uses SSL. It is 
weird because it works when I have the webUI open in one tab and try to 
download a torrent in another tab.

that's normal though, if you're logged into the webui, then chrome has the 
authentication information cached and the explicit authentication details from 
the extension's call aren't used since the server does not report an http 401 
error upon first trying to launch the request. can you remove the extension 
from chrome and re-add it to see if a settings reset helps?

Ok so I found out the problem. The problem appears to be with self signed SSL 
certs. The reason it opens when I have the other tab open is because I told 
chrome to allow the SSL connection because chrome thinks its an untrusted 
source. In order to get it workings I followed this guide

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7580508/getting-chrome-to-accept-self-signed-
localhost-certificate

I followed the best answer on that page and more specifically the edited part. 
Once I trusted the cert permanently I restarted chrome and it worked perfectly. 

Thank you developer for helping me and mentioning authentication.
