Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-789:
----------------------------------------------

Given it is a Java 6 specific feature, the stock version of HttpClient cannot 
use it (due to Java 5 compatibility requirement). There is nothing, though, 
that prevents you from using a custom socket factory that makes use of this 
feature, if Java 6 is the lowest platform version supported by your application.

As of version 4.3 one will also be able to provide a custom set of socket 
factories for individual requests through a local execution context.

> Would it be possible to use an existing instance of SSLContext to initialise 
> an SSLSocketFactory? This would allow using SSLContexts configured with more 
> options, such as CRLs.
