Bug 129653 – [soup] Propagate TLS error information for resource requests

• Component: WebCore Misc.

[Ben Boeckel]

Currently, if a TLS error occurs (particularly certificate errors), the certificate and libsoup flags are lost.

The patch is empty.

Oops. Seems I botched the Tools/Scripts tool I used (on a different machine). I'm using the git repo; what's the proper command to use for submitting a single patch from a branch (I think I used webkit-patch -g HEAD~ 129653 patch-name)? I'll respin once I get home.

FWIW, here's the command I used to attach to the bug: "Tools/Scripts/webkit-patch attach-to-bug -g HEAD -m Patch 129653 TLS-error-propagation.patch".

What does this fix or how does this improve things? Are you fixing a specific bug?

This should be turned into an early return, so reverse the check and return generic error immediately.

Nit: an empty line before the if will make this more readable I think.

Thanks for the review.

That's filed in bugzilla? No. The problem is that when an SSL error occurs, there's no information available for a browser to say "here's the certificate that failed; do you want to ignore the error?". Currently, there's nothing there since the generic error doesn't contain such information.

Of course, things may have changed since I last checked; I'll see if I can get my WebKit repository up to speed tonight and double check the state of things (i.e., whether the patch is necessary and still provides the correct information).

Sounds good.

Will change.
