Markus Jelsma commented on NUTCH-2647:
--------------------------------------

Hello Sebastian,

My own implementation of X509TrustManager would not compile for reasons i did not understand, it kept complaining about not overriding the correct methods (thanks to @Override), although i followed the Javadoc.

I utter despair i remembered seeing a dummy in protocol-httpclient, and could copy it verbatim.

So, although i didn't test it (i will, if my example host still has a bad certificate), think protocol-httpclient already by default skips the check.

In that light, would you still consider a switch for the certificate check for e.g. protocol-httpunit, which already borrows a ton from protocol-httpclient.

Thanks!
