Bug Description

I'm hosting a webserver. Right now I have not registred my SSL-Certificate, so I have to confirm with
"proceed anyway"; Then I can access the homepage without problems. But if I
try do download something from this homepage, the download shows in download
manager, but it does not start. Copying the downloadlink via rightClick and
selecting copy Link, then opening the Terminal and typing "wget
www.link.de/file --no-check-certificate" works pretty fine.

I think, the browser delegates downloads to UDM, the Ubuntu Download Manager. I
guess UDM doesn’t allow bypassing certificate checks.

If nessesary I can provide a temporary download link for testing the issues.

Tested on UbuntuPhone OTA9 (Nexus 4)
