The soup network backend doesn't handle SSL errors because it relies on embedders to handle them themselves using the SoupSession directly. This is not possible in WebKit2, so we need to provide a way to allow the UI process to handle SSL errors. Having SSL handling mechanism in WebCore not only beneficts webkit2, but also webkit1, since it will make easier for embedders to handle these errors and will provide a more robust default behaviour.
