Rodrigo, Not to beat a dead horse here (hopefully you've all heard that expression before, heh), but my question wasn't about how to get it working or why it's happening -- but rather if we should handle the error instead of having it shown to users.

I just wanted to be sure.

Like Mark said, this problem is caused by the CA which signed the Kimchi certificate ... actually, it is an auto signed certificate.... you can see running: openssl x509 -text -in src/kimchi-cert.pem notice that the issuer is kimchi itself. The error is caused because by kimchi actually. It happens because the browser or url requester does not accept the certificate. So, if you use curl for testing, use the option "-k" (insecure) ... if you are using browser , they usually ask if you would like to trust the certificate.

To pick up from the e-mail I started yesterday... The ca error does go away if I go in and "forget about the site," create an exception for the certificate, then try again. I also played with this a bit to see if I can get the regular kimchi build to give me the same error, and I could. So, I think this could be discussed as an issue with kimchi (not just kimchi-ginger).
