Description Michael Catanzaro 2023-02-03 08:00:43 PST

I don't think we need WebKitTLSErrorsPolicy anymore since the web is a better place than it was 15 years ago. Applications that want to ignore a particular error can still use webkit_network_session_allow_tls_certificate_for_host(), which should suffice.

I don't think we should remove it. I'm sure people will complain and ask us to bring it back. Being FAIL the default is enough.

Comment 2 Michael Catanzaro 2023-02-04 06:48:55 PST

Really don't think there exists any valid use-case for this API in 2023. What's wrong with telling applications to use webkit_network_session_allow_tls_certificate_for_host() for bypassing certificate errors?

Comment 3 Michael Catanzaro 2023-02-06 07:48:34 PST

So even though I don't think apps should be using this, it's not really a big deal to expose since it's pretty small.
