Me too, but I know why: my employer's proxy MITMs any SSL connections whose certificate authority it does not recognize as bona fide. Quite aggravating - but a very nice tool to explain SSL MITM to users... There's always a silver lining !
- JoshTriplett 11y ago> whose certificate authority it does not recognize as bona fide That's a very strange criteria; do you mean that anything that would have been a certificate error gets MITMed instead, rather than rejected? Very strange.
- liotier 11y agoNot just the self-signed ones - also some others... I wonder what the whitelist is. The proxy is the infamous McAfee Web Gateway - I don't know if the list is user-maintained or supplied by the vendor.
