Hi I want to report a critical bug in gtk webkit implementation using https rewrite. I will explain

Connect to 

http://posta.babel.it/ 

the underling apache tries by rule to rewrite it into

https://posta.babel.it/WebMail

but nothing happens if you want to access to the website directly to https://posta.babel.it/WebMail same history. I reported this issue during LinuxTag 2008 to a epiphany developer but until today it doesn't work not only with epiphany also with other webkit gtk browsers linke midori.

Should work with this environment variable set: WEBKIT_IGNORE_SSL_ERRORS=1

The site doesn't have a valid SSL certificate and there's no default error handling yet in WebKit/GTK+ to let you know about it.
