Hi,

Is there a way for the code in
https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/security/manager/ssl/SSLServerCertVerification.cpp
to obtain the nsHttpChannel that triggered the TLS handshake?  I'm not
seeing an obvious way to do so, but I'm not particularly familiar with
this codebase.

I'm asking in the context of
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1322748 ; I'd like to
trigger webRequest events so that WebExtensions can alter the
certificate validation result.  If there's a better way to provide
similar functionality, please feel free to suggest it -- I'm totally
open to a different approach, I'm just not an expert on the codebase and
this looked like a plausible approach.

Cheers,
--
