Adding security exceptions in Firefox
原文链接：http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5589139/adding-security-exceptions-in-firefox
Question:
I have a script running watir-webdriver(using Firefox 4.0) that needs to access a web page that Firefox thinks has an invalid certificate.
The problem is that after I accept the certificate, Firefox just goes right back to the same page as if I never accepted it.
This only occurs if Firefox was started from watir-webdriver. If I start it manually, it will properly accept the security exception.
Answer:
A1:The Firefox driver creates a new anonymous profile for each instance, so that it's working in your default profile but not with WebDriver isn't that suprising.
WebDriver is usually pretty good at dealing with certificate issues, but there is an edge case: you're serving a valid certificate that doesn't match the host name it's served from (e.g. production certificates in a test environment). If that's the case, you'll want to set a flag in the Firefox profile:
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile.assume_untrusted_certificate_issuer = false
browser = Watir::Browser.new(:firefox, :profile => profile)
If that doesn't help, you can also just use your default profile as a model:
browser = Watir::Browser.new(:firefox, :profile => "default")
A2:Have your tried going to Tools->Options->-Advanced->Encryption Tab Then click the Validation button and uncheck use the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) ...You can disable this programatically with the Ruby bindings for Selenium e.g.
require 'selenium-webdriver'
require 'watir-webdriver'
profile = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Profile.new
profile["security.OCSP.enabled"] = 0
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox, :profile => profile
browser = Watir::Browser.new(driver)
