SslErrorHandler

open class SslErrorHandler : Handler
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.os.Handler
   ↳ android.webkit.SslErrorHandler

Represents a request for handling an SSL error.

A WebView creates an instance of this class. The instance is passed to android.webkit.WebViewClient#onReceivedSslError(android.webkit.WebView,android.webkit.SslErrorHandler,SslError).

The host application must call cancel() or, contrary to secure web communication standards, proceed() to provide the web view's response to the request.

    proceed

    Added in API level 1
    open fun proceed(): Unit

    Warning: When an SSL error occurs, the host application should always call cancel() rather than proceed() because an invalid SSL certificate means the connection is not secure.
