No exception for page element. (iframe bypass)

[Seanster]

I saw this discussed elsewhere. Here's a sample url where the problem certificate is inside a frame. Firefox (16.0.1) presents the "This Connection is Untrusted" garbage in the frame and there's no "I Understand the risks" bypass.

browser.xul.error_pages.expert_bad_cert;true This setting is ignored. No bypass appears.

When I opened the frame into a new tab the addon worked as expected.

Hi, I've been trying several approaches, but I don't think this is feasible with SkipCertError's current implementation, which uses a TabsProgressListener. There are 2 challenges here:

• identify requests by documents (including i/frames)
• listen to failed requests in i/frames

I'm afraid I won't be able to work further on that soon.

A possible approach might be to re-implement this addon with a proxy that would do the validation before Firefox, ala Convergence.
