[jira] [Comment Edited] (NIFI-7786) Bring back Trusted Hostname property from InvokeHTTP processor

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7786?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17627440#comment-17627440 ]

----------------------------------------------------------

To get around hostname is invalid, I had to manually extend a new InvokeHttp from the NAR level.
I definitely know it's an untrusted certificate and doesn't respect subject alternative name matching, like frequent IP address switching, just for testing.
At the same time, this security measure is too strict, especially the subject alternative name.
I can't rectify the whole system key for one tiny feature. This is not realistic.
I have always felt that security risk is an issue that needs to be considered, but please leave the choice to the user, not the tool itself, the two do not conflict.
