b-api.facebook.com certificate prompts in Pidgin. #532

Open antdude opened 2 years ago

antdude commented 2 years ago

Ever since I installed the plugin into my Pidgin 2.14.9 and logged into my Facebook account in my updated 64-bit W10 Pro., I kept getting this:

"Accept certificate for b-api.facebook.com?

The certificate for b-api.facebook.com could not be validated.

The certificate is not trusted because no certificate that can verify it is currently trusted."

It happens often. How can I make it allow it all the time? Or did I miss something?

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

I have been getting that for a long time. If I close pidgin and open it again, everything is fine for a while, then randomly it will pop back up and I need to repeat the close/open process again. Sometimes if I just ignore the message, everything sorts itself out eventually, I think. It is probably a communications issue between the authentication server and our client machine.

I haven't seen it for a while so far.

Speaking of the devil, I got two a few minutes ago! :(

It seems to be fairly random, probably a timing issue between the local certificate and the remote validation?

Wow, I'm getting a lot. I wonder if it is related to my recent https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook/issues/533.
