Package: pidgin
Version: 2.10.10-1~deb7u1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When Pidgin tries to connect to an irc server with a self signed SSL 
certificate, it rejects the certificate and aborts the connection while 
outputting a pop up alert:

"The certificate for irc.2600.net could not be validated. The certificate chain 
presented is invalid."

The alert dialog does not have any options to view/accept/reject the 
certificate that were available in previous versions of Pidgin. It only has a 
close dialog button. Due to this, a connection to the server can not be made.

I would like to suggest that the options to view/accept/reject self signed SSL 
certificates be reinstated.

Thank you.
