Description Miloslav Trmač 2009-09-28 20:56:31 UTC 
Please provide a way for an application that uses NSS to easily translate an error number into a string (translated to reflect the current locale, if possible) - from a quick look it seems PR_ErrorInstallTable() would be useful, or perhaps just make SECU_Strerror() available.

AFAICS currently a program that links to NSS must maintain it's own error number to string translation tables, which is rather ridiculous.

It looks like a good idea to me. We need exactly this in (lib)curl.
