Ajax HTTPS requests are broken

Hi,

Recently I received the reject report from store validation process.  One of the issues listed in report was a problem with ajax requests to HTTPS sites.

After the first HTTPS request POPUP shows up with the message: "There are problems with the security certificate for this site"

I think the problem was introduced in one of the recent firmware updates. Because there were no popups before and also there are no popups in emulator either.

I tested with few different sites (including https://google.com) and problem always occurs.

 

Can anyone provide some info about this problem? Is there any way to avoid it?

Hello,

As I understand it, you need to add the certificate to your website in the Trusted root CA certificates.

Hi,

Thanks for response, can you explain how this could be done for web/hybrid application? I looked through the documentation but didn't find answer.

 

Thanks

It shouldn't be a failed issues... The user should decide which certificates he wants to allow or deny. Write a clearly argumentation on the comment for certification team...

But is it really correct behaivour for web  applications to show this popup in the first place? I mean, they aren't web pages in a browser and user shouldn't experience the difference between native and web applications.

Aso I don't think, there's a problem with certificate, the url works correctly in the web browser https://api.vk.com/method/users.get?user_id=1&v=5.23

Why you think so? Because your browser vendor accept this certificate? ;) It should be ok to show this popup once, if the user accept the certificate.
