Hello, I was looking into using the httpclient in an application that requires client certificate authentication. According to the JSSE documentation, the mechanism for doing this is to get your SSLSocketFactory from an SSLContext, which allows you to specify the KeyManager and TrustManager. I plan on writing my own implementation of the SecureProtocolSocketFactory that takes a SSLContext as an argument for a constructor and has a SSLSocketFactory field. I just thought I'd pass this along as it might be a nice addition to SSLProtocolSocketFactory. I have no need of it, but if anyone has an idea of how to specify a particular HostNameVerifier similar to SUN's method in HttpsUrlConnection, that might also be a nice addition.
BTW, if anyone has a strong opinion on whether I should even consider http-client for my application, please feel free to share it with me. I realize it's only at alpha2, but my options have pretty well been narrowed down to rolling my own feature starved httpclient, mucking about with the sun.net... client, or using the commons-httpclient.
