This looks to me like a webkitgtk issue, since it seems to occur with any webkitgtk based browser. Would you like to file this upstream? Or would you like me to do so? WebKit has a 'xss auditor' thats enabled by default, but it seems to not do anything for this case.

Not exactly, see bug 643224 comment #2. > Would you like to file this upstream? Or would you like me to do so? Which upstream? IIUC, not webkitgtk, because it just uses the HTTP library provided by the application. Midori? I would be happy to file it upstream if that would be appropriate (c.f. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2010-July/138761.html). Just FYI, I have been discussing this with the upstream midori developer. libsoup doesn't really provide him much info to deal with this. ;( If ssl-strict is True, libsoup will error on non valid certs, but doesn't provide any info back aside from "this cert is not valid". It doesn't provide the binary cert data back to the caller. He's looking now to see if he can possibly use libgcr and pull the certs for that. This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping midori-0.2.9-4.fc14 webkitgtk-1.3.10-1.fc14 This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora.
