Graham Leggett commented on HTTPCLIENT-1119:
--------------------------------------------
SNI is a non backwards compatible Java 7 feature, and like other new features
before it you can either a) use reflection to determine at runtime whether the
feature exists or not before trying to use it, or b) produce dedicated binaries
for Java 7.
It is becoming more and more difficult to justify the use of multiple IP
addresses on a single box, and in turn, it becomes more and more difficult to
justify the continued use of code like httpclient that doesn't support SNI.

> 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.
