[jira] Commented: (HTTPCLIENT-789) Support for passing an SSLContext to the SSLSocketFactory of HttpClient

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-789?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12619254#action_12619254 ] 

Bruno Harbulot commented on HTTPCLIENT-789:
-------------------------------------------

If one day HttpClient was made to require Java 6, it could be possible to use the default SSLContext when the constructor argument is null:

        if (sslContext == null) {
            this.sslContext = SSLContext.getDefault();
        } else {
            this.sslcontext = sslContext;
        }

> Would it be possible to use an existing instance of SSLContext to initialise an SSLSocketFactory? This would allow using SSLContexts configured with more options, such as CRLs.
