Problem Description
Every use of dialog.showCertificateTrustDialog I've seen uses it to react to some event that passes certificate as an argument. There doesn't appear to be a way to create a Certificate from a file (without manually building the object I guess). I want to use dialog.showCertificateTrustDialog to trust certificates generated by mitmproxy. What I have are *.pem files.
Proposed Solution
I'm not sure where this belongs, certainly not in the dialog namespaces. Maybe import { Certificate } from 'electron'; and have a static method on it like Certificate.fromFile().
Alternatives Considered
I assume it's possible to parse the file manually and re-create whatever shape electron expects the object to be. Or is {data} actually enough for showCertificateTrustDialog and all other fields are irrelevant? I don't have access to Windows or Mac right now to test it.
