           Summary: HTTPS lock icon disappears once a cache manifest is
                    used
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.8
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Safari shows a lock icon in address bar for secure connections. This icon disappears once the page uses a cache manifest. This irritates sensible end-users.

Fails:
<!doctype html>
<html manifest="signin.appcache">
...

Works:
<!doctype html>
<html>
...

Observations:
- The manifest can even be empty.
- Doesn't matter if manifest is linked by a relative path or by an absolute path that explicitly uses HTTPS.
- Happens for self-signed certs as well as official server certs, so no difference here.

We don't know if this is intended behavior or a browser bug. Anyway, it definitely irritates Safari users who already filed a bug in our bugzilla.
