[Camino] Camino and SSL certificates

All,

I don't know whether there's much of a a point in taking the issue =

here, since it is quite prominent already in bugzilla. But, anyway, =

here goes:

(1) For quite a while, Camino has been unable to properly accept =

imported SSL Root Certificates =

<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D383988>, =

<http://www.spg.tu-darmstadt.de/~hf/camino/ssl-cert-botch/root-certs-1.tiff=
>.

(2) mozilla.org is moving at glacial speed when it comes to include =

and distribute additional root certificates =

<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D378882>.

(3) Trunk removed the dialog to temporarily or permanently accept a =

server certificate and grew =

<http://www.spg.tu-darmstadt.de/~hf/camino/ssl-cert-botch/cert-error.tiff> =

instead, which refers the user to "advanced encryption settings" as a =

way out. They do not exist on Camino.

(4) This leaves us with procedure =

<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D398417#c8> for adding a =

usable root cert. Talk about the Macintosh Experience...

(5) FF 3 will happily import the root certs and work with them.

Comments, insights?
