Summary: Inappropriate Security Warning
Product: WebKit
Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
Platform: Macintosh Intel
URL: http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/mailings/20080604_TaxAndDi
vidend.pdf
OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Normal
Priority: P2
Component: PDF
AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
ReportedBy: norm at cap-lore.com
I go to http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/mailings/20080604_TaxAndDividend.pdf .
I click on the first link therein which is to
http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/2008/HawaiiPACON_20080603.pdf .
I see a warning: Acrobat is attempting to connect to [URL]. If you trust the
site, choose Allow. [...] .
It seems odd that this particular link should warrant such a message.
If Acrobat is malign and already has control of my machine, linking to another
site hardly makes things worse.
If Acrobat is suspect there should be a warning before rendering the first
page.
Too many security warnings degrade security!
