[jira] [Comment Edited] (HTTPCLIENT-1591) SNI doesn't work in Android port for proxied connections

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1591?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14281833#comment-14281833 ]

I have now tested the new SSLConnectionSocketFactory. SNI is still not available for Android >= 2.3 and <= 4.1 because of these lines:

{code:java}
        // Android specific code to enable SNI
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
            if (Log.isLoggable(TAG, Log.DEBUG)) {
                Log.d(TAG, "Enabling SNI for " + target);
            }
            try {
                Method method = sslsock.getClass().getMethod("setHostname", String.class);
                method.invoke(sslsock, target);
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                if (Log.isLoggable(TAG, Log.DEBUG)) {
                    Log.d(TAG, "SNI configuration failed", ex);
                }
            }
        }
{code}

setHostname is available (via reflection and undocumented) since Android 2.3 while SSLCertificateSocketFactory::setHostname() is documented, but only available since API level 17 (Android 4.2).

Since you don't use SSLCertificateSocketFactory at all, there's no reason to limit the setHostname() call to Jelly Bean MR1+. For instance, on my Galaxy Note 10.1 with Android 4.1, the current Apache SSLConnectionSocketFactory doesn't provide SNI although setHostname is available.

Proposed fix (tested): Just remove the check for API level 17+. If SNI is not available because the Android version is <2.3, reflection will fail anyway.
