            Bug ID: 140014
           Summary: [SOUP] Disable RC4
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit2
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: mcatanzaro at igalia.com

It's past time to disable all ciphersuites that use RC4, which is no longer considered secure [1]. Instead, we should refuse to connect if the server only supports RC4.

This can be expected to break ~1.5% of the top 1,000,000 web sites [2], so we should only push this change once a major browser does so first [3] [4].
