I need to configure the SSLEngine created in
org.apache.http.impl.nio.reactor.SSLIOSession used by
org.apache.http.impl.nio.SSLServerIOEventDispatch to control client auth using
setNeedClientAuth.
Extending SSLServerIOEventDispatch, the implementation of
createSSLIOSession(IOSession, SSLContext, SSLIOSessionHandler) can be
overridden but in order to accomplish the aforesaid, it would be better to
reuse SSLIOSession and tune its SSLEngine based on some used defined tunables.
One way to enable this would be to add a new method in SSLIOSession:
protected SSLEngine getSSLEngine()
{
return(this.sslEngine);
}
This enables extending SSLIOSession to tune SSLEngine as per requirements and
hence use the full configurablilty of SSLEngine and use this extended
SSLIOSession in an extended SSLServerIOEventDispatch. Can we have this method
in a future release?
