GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 128234
Add UI to access certificate viewer
Last modified: 2006-08-16 10:51:09 UTC
Now that we have a certificate viewer, we need a way to access it from non-broken secure sites (you can currently access the viewer from the error dialogs which appear if there is a problem with the certificate).
Since we're in feature freeze, I've coded this as an extension (module epiphany-extensions, extension/certificates/).
This is how I've done it in my extension: I simply added "Server Certificate" entry to the "View" menu, enabled only when the page is in secure mode. I think this would be sufficient for this bug too?
Yeah, fine by me. Maybe the extra seperator isn't needed? But that's minor stuff anyways.
Created attachment 28458 [details] [review] implementation of View->Page Certificate I've taken the code from my certificate extension and integrated it into ephy. The extension also shows the cert when clicking on the lock icon at the bottom left, but I'm not sure if we should copy that too... Marco, can you review please? Thanks.
<disclaimer> I'm not exactly sure about what we are talking exactly (a shot of the proposed dialog would help). So if I'm not making sense let me know ;) </disclaimer> I think we should not add a View menu item for a functionality that at best 0.5% of our users would ever access. What about making these information part of File->Properties ? Yeah we have not one yet, but I think it would make sense provided it's much simpler than the mozilla one.
Also, since this does not affect the view at all, I guess the proper place is File.
Mass reassigning of Epiphany bugs to epiphany-maint@b.g.o
Isn't this covered by the Certificates extension?.
Fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major release. Thank you for your bug report.
