[jira] [Commented] (HTTPCLIENT-789) Support for passing an
SSLContext to the SSLSocketFactory of HttpClient
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-789?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13549548#comment-13549548 ]
Alexey Serba commented on HTTPCLIENT-789:
-----------------------------------------

If one day HttpClient was made to require Java 6, it could be possible to use the default SSLContext when the constructor argument is null:
{code}
if (sslContext == null) {
this.sslContext = SSLContext.getDefault();
} else {
this.sslcontext = sslContext;
}
{code}

What about using reflection and using default SSL context on java 6? It would make configuring SSL for http client 4.x much easier. Thoughts?

> Would it be possible to use an existing instance of SSLContext to initialise an SSLSocketFactory? This would allow using SSLContexts configured with more options, such as CRLs.
