*IF* that error was from the proxy and the proxy was a Squid, then it
can be done at step 3 with a helper after a peek or stare at step 2.

There should not need to be anything configured though. Rejecting
unknown root CAs is how TLS is designed to work. With splice the error
should be produced by your UA/Browser.
