> It is incorrect, but common, for web sites to have SSL certs that are signed by localhost with localhost as the CN/hostname, but then are deployed on real websites like w3.internal.example.com.  If you try to connect to one of these with Wink you get:
> Exception : java.io.IOException: HTTPS hostname wrong: should be <localhost>
> You'll see extensive discussion and how to fix at:

> You'll also see commercial products supporting this behavior as well like:
