nsIXMLHttpRequest fails without showing certificate dialog

[poleta33]

Hi

after setting the header Authorization, I use a nsIXMLHttpRequest for getting information from on website like this :

Code: Select all

httpChannel.open(method, url, true);

the problem is when the certificate is not valid or not known, the certificate dialog window does not pop up (I always get a response status 0)... is it normal ?

I think you're responsible for handling authentication errors and opening dialogs yourself. Password dialogs may be opened automatically though, depending on settings. Missing certificates do not return very helpful error codes. See this bug for background. For possible workarounds, see this page.
