BrowserCompatHostnameVerifier should handle wildcards in SSL certificates better
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1097
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1097
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpClient
    Affects Versions: 4.1.1
            Reporter: Hennus Bergman
            Priority: Minor


I ran into a problem with SSL wildcard certificates in the class 
BrowserCompatHostnameVerifier. It handles "*.example.org" fine but 
"server*.example.org" fails to work correctly. The javadoc claims that it 
should behave the same way as curl and FireFox. In Firefox an SSL certificate 
for "server*.example.org" works fine for the host "server.example.org", using 
HttpClient it throws an exception.

Here is an example test (JUnit4):

package org.example.hb;

import javax.net.ssl.SSLException;

import org.apache.http.conn.ssl.BrowserCompatHostnameVerifier;
import org.junit.Test;

public class BrowserCompatHostnameVerifierTest {

        /**
         * Should not throw an exeption in the verify method.
         * @throws SSLException
         */
        @Test
        public void testVerifyStringStringArrayStringArray() throws SSLException
        {
                BrowserCompatHostnameVerifier hv = new 
BrowserCompatHostnameVerifier();
                String host = "www.example.org";
                String[] cns = {"www*.example.org"};
                
                hv.verify(host, cns, cns);
        }

}
