Show the real domain info for cert errors in the error text
-
Currently when accessing a site using the wrong certificate, the advanced info does not show the domain the cert is supposed to be for.
Example
https://mim.icq.com
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=mim.icq.com&latest
Knowledgeable users will know how to inspect the cert and which values are important, but most users will not.
It would be useful to see a warning in the error message such as;
mim.icq.com is trying to use the certificate from icq.net
This certificate was issued to [insert certificate subject] and is valid for [insert subject alternative name] and was issued by [insert Issuer]This should make it easier to spot a misconfigured site from a compromised site, so aid the average user in making a decision who to contact or complain to.
