[jira] [Created] (HTTPCLIENT-1792) Improve the error message when hostname verification fails

Jens Borgland created HTTPCLIENT-1792:
-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Improve the error message when hostname verification fails
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1792
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1792
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: HttpClient (classic)
    Affects Versions: 4.4.1
            Reporter: Jens Borgland
            Priority: Minor


When hostname verification fails {{org.apache.http.conn.ssl.SSLConnectionSocketFactory}} will throw a {{SSLPeerUnverifiedException}} with a message like this:
{noformat}
Host name 'FOO' does not match the certificate subject provided by the peer (CN=BAR)
{noformat}

*Expected:*
Including the _subject alternative names_, rather than the CN, in the message would be a lot more helpful when troubleshooting (and probably more correct since the use of CN matching is deprecated through RFC 2818).
