> Issue Type: Improvement

> I'm using HttpClient on Android, repackaged to avoid conficting with the platform's org.apache old packages.
> It works fine, except that making any https request will crash using the defaults.
> The reason is that DefaultHostnameVerifier uses javax.naming.* classes, which are not present on Android.
> So to be able to make https request, the default hostname verifier must be replaced. For example:
>
> httpClient = HttpClients.custom()
> .setSSLHostnameVerifier(NoopHostnameVerifier.INSTANCE)
> .build();
>
> Using NoopHostnameVerifier is rarely a good idea, so for the time being I have replaced it with and older version of BrowserCompatHostnameVerifier that doesn't internally call DefaultHostnameVerifier.
>
> Ideally, I'd like DefaultHostnameVerifier to detect dynamically if javax.naming.* classes are available, and switch to an alternate method not using them if they are not. That way, HttpClient would work out of the box for Android users.
