Mark Claassen commented on HTTPCLIENT-1182:
-------------------------------------------
I attached my purposed change. The patch file I made was from 4.1.3, but will
work with 4.2.
> 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: 4.1.3, 4.2 Beta1
> Reporter: Mark Claassen
> Labels: SSLSocketFactory, Webstart, patch
> Fix For: 4.1.3
>
> Attachments: output
>
> Original Estimate: 48h
> Remaining Estimate: 48h

> 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.
