Show error messages for invalid certificates in UI

Open schmittlauch opened this issue 9 years ago • 0 comments

I encountered a SSL certificate verification failure when trying to download an episode. This currently (gpodder 4.6) just fails silently from an end-users perspective as the error message (kind of, it's a stacktrace) is printed to stdout, see gpodder/gpodder-core#21 This isn't really user-friendly.

I think there are at least 2 things to be done:

  • [ ] catch the ssl.SSLError exception
  • [ ] display an understandable error message
