[jira] [Commented] (HTTPCLIENT-1119) Server Name Indication (SNI) Support

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1119?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13487695#comment-13487695 ]

-----------------------------------------------

Hi Michael

It is a good quality patch, no doubt. But I am somewhat reluctant to include a fairly substantial piece of JRE specific code through reflection, given it is quite trivial to plug in that code through a custom hostname verifier. If the SNI support is critical enough we should consider writing proper RFC 3546 implementation in order to support all JRE platforms HttpClient can run on.

> Provide support for Server Name Indication (SNI) support as per RFC 3546 (section 3.1).
> Currently attempting to connect to SNI enabled host 'expectedhost' over SSL using http client results in an SSLException similar to:
> javax.net.ssl.SSLException: hostname in certificate didn't match: <expectedhost> != <defaulthost>
>   at org.apache.http.conn.ssl.AbstractVerifier.verify(AbstractVerifier.java:220)
> We use SNI on some of our environments and were trying to use httpclient to automatically test host access and availability.
