Description Rolf Eike Beer 2011-02-02 20:49:36 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

If multiple connections (say multiple HTTP requests) encounter the same unverified SSL certificate everyone asks the user to accept it. So if many connections are opened at the same time the user may get like 5 or 6 questions to accept the same SSL certificate. The choice made by the first of these questions doesn't make the other dialogs go away. Ideally only one dialog would be shown and all others will just pick up the result.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I currently can't find the URL this happened to me, it was something at openSUSE. Sorry. But I see it also if e.g. Kontact tries to synchronize 2 IMAP accounts on the same server with an unverified SSL certificate at the same time.

I am in the process of attempting to address this long standing issue. However, I need a test site that causes multiple messageboxes to be shown to test my fix. Do you happen to have an example site. I had one, but I forgot the URL before I could bookmark it.
