User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/38.0.2125.111 Chrome/38.0.2125.111 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce: I try to enter a wrong address of a page "httpx://www.nytimes.com" and hit Get Certificate Actual results: The browser does not response or maybe it takes too long to response because I try to stay at the window for more than 1 hour but it keeps "Attempting to identify the site..." and freeze all buttons but Cancel. Expected results: This address is not valid so it should return a message show that the entered address is invalid.

Looks like what's going on is that code waits asynchronously on the result of the request. If there's an exception at the wrong time, that code will wait indefinitely.
