Comment (by AlbertCahalan):

 Replying to [comment:6 marco]:
 > Not intentional, this should just work as it does in firefox. Do you
 still see it on the latest image?

 Regular firefox does this in a most user-unfriendly way. It can throw at
 least 2 complicated dialog boxes at the user, probably even 3.

 Good behavior would be to simply do whatever crypto is required to make
 the server happy. Any sort of security icon should of course indicate that
 the connection is NOT trusted, despite the crypto. (eh, there doesn't seem
 to be any such icon at all, so no problem with wrongly claiming trust but
 this isn't a good situation either)
