FileUpload component with flash turned fails to upload in SSL mode with self signed certificate
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RF-5290
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-5290
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.2.2
         Environment: Richfaces 3.2.2SR1
MyFaces 1.2.5
Tomahawk 1.1.8
Tomcat 6 on windows
HTTPS with a self signed certificate, on Firefox
            Reporter: Brian Couchman


When usign the file upload component with flash turned on, I have an issue with Firefox 3 (I don't know for sure with IE but it's probably the same).
My server has a self signed certificate valid for localhost and I'm accessing my page using a local IP (10.160.x.x). Firefox complains about a non valid SSL certificate and offers me to get the certificate add an exception. The page loads fine.

But on uploading, the upload fails with the message "Transfer error occured" (see screenshot)

If I access the page with HTTP (no SSL), it works fine.

See enclosed the screenshots from Charles (web proxy) that shows that the request initiated by the flash object failed the SSL handshake (CONNECT).

Not sure if it is a flash / firefox issue (see http://www.kahunaburger.com/2007/10/31/flex-uploads-via-httphttps/) or if there is a possible workaround on the Richfaces side.
