HostNameVerifier started resolving hostnames in version 4.1
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: HTTPCLIENT-1146
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1146
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Bug
Components: HttpClient
Reporter: Rosen Anastasov
In HttpClient 4.0 the HostNameVerifir verify the host name as specified in the
HttpPost(URI). I.e. 127.0.0.1 or localhost.
HttpClient 4.1 is resolving this as it uses not directly the string host name
to pass it to the verifier, but remoteAddress.getHostName().
I.e. the code in 4.0 is hostnameVerifier.verify(host, sslsock);
and in 4.1 is this.hostnameVerifier.verify(remoteAddress.getHostName(),
sslsock);
This leads to some differences and regression - clients upgraded with
HttpClient 4.1 may stop function if they have server certificate with IP
address and in the same time this IP address can be resolved to hostname by the
OS.
