Using Java 14 (OpenJDK download), older versions of the JavaFX SDK (e.g. JavaFX 12) were capable of loading web pages with expired certificates. With Java 14 and JavaFX 14, an error is printed and the webpage is not shown.

However, with Java 11.0.2 and JavaFX 14, no error is printed and the page with the expired certificate is shown.

There is currently no clear and consistent documentation about how WebView should handle sites with expired certificates.

Might be related to JDK-8221097 and JDK-8211308.
