-----------------------------------------------
@Josef
This is a long and and unpleasant story. Google is most likely going to add SNI
to their HttpURLConnection. I have no idea what they are going to do about
their fork of HttpClient.
@John
It is a combination of both. I do not want to end up having to maintain that
particular bit of code when all it takes to enable SNI on Java 7 is one line of
code.
@Will
You are right. SNI extensions are used during SSL handshake before the session
is fully established. My main points still holds, though. SNI is a TLS level
aspect. It is a responsibility of individual applications to ensure that they
operate in an appropriate security context.

> Provide support for Server Name Indication (SNI) support as per RFC 3546
> (section 3.1).
> Currently attempting to connect to SNI enabled host 'expectedhost' over SSL
> using http client results in an SSLException similar to:
> javax.net.ssl.SSLException: hostname in certificate didn't match:
> <expectedhost> != <defaulthost>
> at
> org.apache.http.conn.ssl.AbstractVerifier.verify(AbstractVerifier.java:220)
> We use SNI on some of our environments and were trying to use httpclient to
> automatically test host access and availability.
