No SSL certificate warning is shown for expired certificates when downloading a file

Reported by opitz.be...@gmail.com, Feb 11 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to a site (with a valid SSL certificate) that links to downloads on an https-URL for which the certificate has expired, e.g. https://download.lineageos.org/extras links to  https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/su/addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip
At the time of filing this issue, the mirrorbits certificate has expired.
2. Click a download link, e.g. the link for addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip
3. The file downloads without showing a warning.
4. If you had copied the link in step 2 and then manually opened it in a new tab, a security warning (NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID -> "Your connection is not private) would have been shown.

What is the expected behavior?
I would expect a security warning to be shown that prevents the download via an insecure connection.

What went wrong?
The download successfully completed via an insecure connection without a warning or prompt being shown.

Did this work before? N/A

The mirrorbits.lineageos.org certificate hasn't expired; it expires on 03 April 2018. The problem is that this URL immediately redirects to another server; in some cases, that other server is https://lineageos.mirrorhub.io/su/addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip, whose certificate expired 8 hours ago. In other cases, the redirected-to URL is https://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/lineageos/su/addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip, whose certificate does not expire until March 27th.
Ok, that makes sense.
Sorry for the wrong bug report then, I tried to check what you commented before reporting but must not have looked properly.
No worries, it took me a few minutes to notice too. :)
