Bug ID: 472703
Summary: SSLUI presents Server Authentication dialog
(sslui.cpp) with no ability to permanently block?
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: git master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I notice a few apps that occasionally check dodgy trackers or services with
untrusted certs. These apps continuously pop up the SSLUI dialog saying a
server failed authenticity check with the checkbox "do not ask again" which
only has any effect when you hit "Continue" as opposed to traditional Yes/No
buttons. I see in sslui.cpp#L48 a comment
```// ### We don't ask to permanently reject the certificate``` which is
unfortunate as the dialog will just keep popping up. I would love the option to
permanently cancel access to any bad certs from this dialog. Is it up to the
apps to do this instead? I would love to see "yes/no/don't show again" buttons
here and a ban list function if required.

Thoughts?
