IEHtmlWindow / WebKit strategy for security popups

Hi there. I have been working with IEHtmlWindow and WebKitCtrl recently. I would like to know if anyone has any ideas for working around popup security messages on https. I am hoping to display a dialog at the very least rather than the window/control rendering nothing and appearing to have had no response when this is encountered.

This type of issue normally arises where a SSL Certificate may have expired or owner name/domain/org does is not consistent on the certificate. I am thinking for SSL, perhaps one approach is to try a wget or urllib method first before allowing the control itself to work on the url. I'm going to try a couple of things but I am interested in possibilities. Many thanks.

Regards,
David

Just to note I managed to find some event states in WebKit I can work with so I can test event against these states to determine a failed state and report this - but it is pretty general for any failure.

Regards,
David
