How to bypass SSL error CefSharp WinForms
Copy/paste ready:
//Before instantiating a ChromiumWebBrowser object
CefSettings settings = new CefSettings();
settings.IgnoreCertificateErrors = true;
Cef.Initialize(settings);
Option 1 (Preferred)
Implement IRequestHandler.OnCertificateError - this method will be called for every invalid certificate. If you only wish to override a few methods of IRequestHandler
then you can inherit from RequestHandler and override
the methods you are interested in specifically, in this case OnCertificateError
//Make sure you assign your RequestHandler instance to the `ChromiumWebBrowser`
browser.RequestHandler = new ExampleRequestHandler();
public class ExampleRequestHandler : RequestHandler
{
protected override bool OnCertificateError(IWebBrowser chromiumWebBrowser, IBrowser browser, CefErrorCode errorCode, string requestUrl, ISslInfo sslInfo, IRequestCallback callback)
{
//NOTE: We also suggest you wrap callback in a using statement or explicitly execute callback.Dispose as callback wraps an unmanaged resource.
//Example #1
//Return true and call IRequestCallback.Continue() at a later time to continue or cancel the request.
//In this instance we'll use a Task, typically you'd invoke a call to the UI Thread and display a Dialog to the user
Task.Run(() =>
{
//NOTE: When executing the callback in an async fashion need to check to see if it's disposed
if (!callback.IsDisposed)
{
using (callback)
{
//We'll allow the expired certificate from badssl.com
if (requestUrl.ToLower().Contains("https://expired.badssl.com/"))
{
callback.Continue(true);
}
else
{
callback.Continue(false);
}
}
}
});
return true;
//Example #2
//Execute the callback and return true to immediately allow the invalid certificate
//callback.Continue(true); //Callback will Dispose it's self once exeucted
//return true;
//Example #3
//Return false for the default behaviour (cancel request immediately)
//callback.Dispose(); //Dispose of callback
//return false;
}
}
Option 2
Set ignore-certificate-errors command line arg
var settings = new CefSettings();
settings.CefCommandLineArgs.Add("ignore-certificate-errors");
Cef.Initialize(settings);
