#12865 new bug

Unrecognized SSL errors are only printed to stdout, not shown to the user

Description

On sites that throw unrecognized SSL errors, the messages are only printed to stdout. Sometimes the errors are fatal, and so the user has no way of knowing why the page stopped loading.

The following URL provides a test case: https://my.justenergy.com/

That URL does not show SSL errors anymore.

BSecureSocket is handling these errors and it is properly returning B_ERROR when they happen, it is up to the application to handle that. An API to get an user readable error string in case of error would be nice, but showing SSL errors directly to the user would not be very nice anyway.

Are there pages where such errors actually happen? (not because of bugs in our implementation, I mean).
