        <pre>In webkitWebContextConstructed we have this code:

    priv-&gt;processPool = WebProcessPool::create(configuration);

    // ...

    priv-&gt;tlsErrorsPolicy = WEBKIT_TLS_ERRORS_POLICY_FAIL;
    priv-&gt;processPool-&gt;setIgnoreTLSErrors(false);

The call to WebProcessPool::setIgnoreTLSErrors always fails, because it only sends the message if the network process has already been created, but at this point it has not been created yet.

I think it's not really needed here, because false is the default, so not a big deal. But it becomes a real problem if an API user ever does something like this:

    context = webkit_web_context_new();
    webkit_web_context_set_tls_errors_policy (context, WEBKIT_TLS_ERRORS_POLICY_IGNORE);

This fails too, the policy gets changed in the UI process, but the network process never sees it. I don't think these messages should ever be dropped.

As suggested by Nick White in <a class="bz_bug_link 
          bz_status_NEW "
   title="NEW - [GTK] Provide API to set proxy settings"
   href="show_bug.cgi?id=128674">bug #128674</a>, an appropriate fix might be for WebProcessPool::setIgnoreTLSErrors to call ensureNetworkProcess().</pre>
