add_ServerCertificateErrorDetected

Add an event handler for the ServerCertificateErrorDetected event.

public HRESULT add_ServerCertificateErrorDetected(ICoreWebView2ServerCertificateErrorDetectedEventHandler * eventHandler, EventRegistrationToken * token)

The ServerCertificateErrorDetected event is raised when the WebView2 cannot verify server's digital certificate while loading a web page.

This event will raise for all web resources and follows the WebResourceRequested event.

If you don't handle the event, WebView2 will show the default TLS interstitial error page to the user for navigations, and for non-navigations the web request is cancelled.

WebView2 caches the response when action is COREWEBVIEW2_SERVER_CERTIFICATE_ERROR_ACTION_ALWAYS_ALLOW for the RequestUri's host and the server certificate in the session and the ServerCertificateErrorDetected event won't be raised again.

To raise the event again you must clear the cache using ClearServerCertificateErrorActions.

// When WebView2 doesn't trust a TLS certificate but host app does, this example bypasses
// the default TLS interstitial page using the ServerCertificateErrorDetected event handler and
// continues the request to a server. Otherwise, cancel the request.
