ProtocolSocketFactory to upgrade an unsecured connection to secured via TLS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HTTPCLIENT-751
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-751
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Contrib
Environment: Coded for Java 1.4.2, but interested parties should be
able to make it work for less than that.
Reporter: stephen joseph butler
Priority: Minor
HTTP allows a client to upgrade its connection from an unsecured one to a
secured one via the Upgrade header. This protocol component implements a
mandatory upgrade. From RFC2817, section 3.2:
>> OPTIONS * HTTP/1.1
>> Host: example.bank.com
>> Upgrade: TLS/1.0
>> Connection: Upgrade
>>
<< HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols
<< Upgrade: TLS/1.0, HTTP/1.1
<< Connection: Upgrade
<<
-- send and complete the TLS handshake
-- server answers the original OPTIONS request
<< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
<< Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2008 17:23:35 GMT
<< Server: Apache
<< Content-Length: 0

<<
My reason for developing this protocol socket factory was to support secure IPP
over the standard IPP port.
