[jira] [Commented] (HTTPCLIENT-1119) Server Name Indication (SNI)
Support
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1119?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13597984#comment-13597984 ]
Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-1119:
-----------------------------------------------
SNI support in Java 7 and Java 8 looks like a complete bloody mess. The proposed hack would likely work with Java 7 only and in blocking mode only. I found no way of setting a virtual host name on non-blocking SSLEngine in Java 7. As a result with the proposed hack SNI would only work with HttpClient and not with HttpAsyncClient. Quite frankly this sucks. To make matters worse Java 8 has a completely different SNI API provided out of javax.net.ssl package. If we want to make SNI work on Java 8 we will have to resort to yet another reflection hack.

> Currently attempting to connect to SNI enabled host 'expectedhost' over SSL using http client results in an SSLException similar to:
> javax.net.ssl.SSLException: hostname in certificate didn't match: <expectedhost> != <defaulthost>
> at org.apache.http.conn.ssl.AbstractVerifier.verify(AbstractVerifier.java:220)
> We use SNI on some of our environments and were trying to use httpclient to automatically test host access and availability.
