Bug Description

1) Ubuntu Touch 15.04 (OTA-13) armhf Build 20160913-023544
2) Ubuntu Touch web Browser
3) Accessing HTTPS websites by importing root-ca-certificate once
4) Does not work

Hi,

while accessing a HTTPS website, the browser tries to download an root-certificate.

- Download fails
- If I copy the root-cert to /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/, the browser does not care

Please provide me with a hint to import and use https-certs.

Many thanks!

PS: This is a security issue, also.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

I am having this problem on a corporate network with an internal CA. we cannot view any internal sites because there appears to be *no* way to get webbrowser-app to accept our internal CA, even while all other browsers on a system accept it.

We are using version 0.23+16.04.20161028-0ubuntu2.
