Hi,
Electron is based on Google's open-source Chromium.
In the chromium source code in net_error_list.h they are listing all network errors

they write these lines in the beginning of the file:

// This file contains the list of network errors.

//
// Ranges:
// 0- 99 System related errors
// 100-199 Connection related errors
// 200-299 Certificate errors
// 300-399 HTTP errors
// 400-499 Cache errors
// 500-599 ?
// 600-699 FTP errors
// 700-799 Certificate manager errors
// 800-899 DNS resolver errors

if i have understand well this issue we need to add this alert to errors that range between 200 and 299.Is that true?

@med1001 Yes that is right. Right now we show an error overall whenever this happens.
I would suggest we can add some text in the section indicated below to notify the users about the setting in the preferences:

Maybe something like, If you wish to proceed, you can disable the SSL validation in the user preferences ⚙

Should we assign this to you @med1001 ?
