Add a constructor to org.apache.http.conn.ssl.SSLSocketFactory to allow for
directly wrapping a javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory socketfactory
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HTTPCLIENT-1182
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1182
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: HttpClient
Affects Versions: 4.2 Beta1, 4.1.3
Reporter: Mark Claassen
Fix For: 4.1.3
Our application use Java Webstart for deployment. Amoung other things,
Webstart gives us the ability to access the system's (in our case, Windows)
certificate system. For instance, one of our client is using certificate based
authentication to their webserver. This is done through a hardware device they
attach to their system. Window's already has a way to interface with this
device, and Webstart has a way to interface with the Windows API.
I don't think we can get by with using any SocketFactory that we create. (We
would have to check with Oracle to be sure.) I think we need to use the one
that is set as the default in HttpsURLConnection.
What I am suggesting is that another constructor be added to allow for just
wrapping this one. I was not planning on putting a dependancy on
HttpsURLConnection, but rather just add the ability to wrap any
javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory.
This will not be a big change to the API. I will get a patch ready soon.
