http client and SSLContext.getDefault
Hi,
It seems that http client (at least 4.1.3) does not honor
SSLContext.getDefault, i.e. does not pickup SSLContext configured
using SSLContext.setDefault. The problem is that I want to override
default SSLContext at a runtime and do not have control over all
httpclient usages, i.e. can not instrument all http client instances
using "getConnectionManager().getSchemeRegistry().register(scheme)"
spell. I was thinking that httpclient should use default SSLContext by
default, but apparently it's not. I've found HTTPCLIENT-789 and it
says that the reason is that SSLContext.getDefault() is Java 6/7 only.
I'm wondering if it makes sense to use reflection here and honor
default SSLContext on Java 6/7 platforms. Any opinions?
Thanks in advance,
Alexey

I am pretty sure it is up to Java 6 now. In the project properties in Eclipse, you can set the Java compiler to be 1.6. This makes
the compiler not complain about the @Override annotation on interface implementation methods. Java 7 will not work.
Maybe it is using the Java 6 compiler but outputting a Java 5 class file? ...I have not played around with things like this much,
so I can't really speak much to that.
I don't have much of an opinion on what the source code level of HttpClient should be. We don't use Java 5 anymore, but it doesn't
bother me that HttpClient works with Java 5. That being said, it seems that it should probably just stay where it is unless there
is a compelling reason to move.

It's more about changing SSLContext at a runtime. Please also see similar stackoverflow question -

My understanding is that even the latest versions of Android are still
based on Java 5. Even though Google have treated us the way they did, I
think we should try to keep HttpClient Android friendly. I simply see no
convincing reason to upgrade to Java 6. What does this exactly buy us?
If we were to bump the minimal JRE level, we should probably go to Java
7 or even 8.

My preference would be to make Java 6 the minimum requirement.
