#7566: Pidgin 2.5.2 does not save  ssl information
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter:  publicunimail  |        Type:  defect                    
  Status:  new            |   Component:  pidgin (gtk)              
 Version:  2.5.2          |    Keywords:  security ssl bug important
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Pidgin 2.5.2 does not save ssl information in a usable fashion. That is,
 after i accept an ssl certificate for talk.gmail.com (common name
 goolgle.com) or for various irc ssl connections, on disconnect or
 reopening pidgin it will prompt me to accept the same certificate again.
 This means that ssl verification on these connections is not really able
 to be used. Unless you store the certificate or are able to confirm that
 certificate you said yes to previously is the same.

 This behavior does not occur on debian lenny using the 2.4.3 pidgin which
 they patched re the previous pidgin ssl problem.
