electron: Client certificate not working

Hi,

The docs list --ignore-certificate-errors as a supported chromium switch. I’m trying to set up a test/integration/development environment for my apps using self-signed certificates, but am not having any luck getting this switch to work. I’m using v0.21.3 on both Linux and OS X.

My code opens BrowserWindow content fine when pointed at servers with valid certs. But for GET requests to servers without valid certs, the DevTools always show that the network request never receives any bytes. I’m assuming this (silent) failure is a result of ssl validation failure inside chromium.

I’ve tried both:

var app = require ('app');
app.commandLine.appendSwitch ('ignore-certificate-errors');

var app = require ('app');
app.commandLine.appendSwitch ('ignore-certificate-errors', 'true');

Searching the github repo for the strings ‘ignore-certificate-errors’ and kIgnoreCertificateErrors doesn’t produce any code results. I probably just don’t understand how command line switches are wired up (I’ll look more deeply), but I was wondering if this switch is, in fact, supported and whether the docs are up to date.

Thanks very much.
