TWebBrowser and SSL Certificate

Greetings!

I've been looking around for the past few days, and checking out
additional components. When visiting a web page with an invalid SSL
Certificate (date, domain name mismatch, etc), a new window pops up
and prompts whether or not the certificate should be accepted. I do
not want this prompt to come up; I'd like for all certificates to be
accepted by default.

In trying to find a way to do this, I've researched adding the URLs to
the trusted domain list before navigation; but it appears to be a
global change-- which I do not want. Also, I've looked into
implemented a custom security manager-- but that doesn't seem to ever
fire on certificate prompts.. just ActiveX downloads, JavaScript, etc.

If anyone knows how to make these prompts stop, and accept all
certificates by default, that would be awesome! I'm using the
TWebBrowser component for back-end page parsing, page element review,
download, etc. It is not a front-end that submits data, and therefore
prompting for SSL acceptance is not needed-- and actually, a very big
problem, as I'm downloading several web pages and it creates a pop-up
for each one.


Thanks in advance,
Mike
