    @tillrohrmann I'm closing this PR because it is quite old, in favor of a successor.

> When hostname verification is performed, it should use the hostname (not IP address) to match the certificate.   The current code is wrongly using the address.
> In technical terms, ensure that calls to `SSLContext::createSSLEngine` supply the expected hostname, not host address.
> Please audit all SSL setup code as to whether hostname verification is enabled, and file follow-ups where necessary.   For example, Akka 2.4 supports it but 2.3 doesn't ([ref|http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.4.4/scala/http/client-side/https-support.html#Hostname_verification]).
