-----------------------------------------------
{quote}WRT "one potentially unpleasant issue." Do you want to bring this up on
the ML?
{quote}
@[~garydgregory] Sure. If get closer to a vote.
{quote}Would that be something that could be considered for 5.0 or is it
totally out of question ?
{quote}
@[~bubbleguuum] This is already the case. I am trying to make sure that HC 5.0
could be used on Android without modifications (with some Android specific
extensions such as a custom connection socket factory). Feel free to give it a
shot and give us some feedback.

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1903
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1903
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 4.5.5
> Reporter: Michael Pujos
> Assignee: Oleg Kalnichevski
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 4.6 Alpha1
>
>
> I'm using HttpClient on Android, repackaged to avoid conficting with the
> platform's org.apache old packages.
> It works fine, except that making any https request will crash using the
> defaults.
> The reason is that DefaultHostnameVerifier uses javax.naming.* classes, which
> are not present on Android.
> So to be able to make https request, the default hostname verifier must be
> replaced. For example:
>
> httpClient = HttpClients.custom()
> .setSSLHostnameVerifier(NoopHostnameVerifier.INSTANCE)
> .build();
>
> Using NoopHostnameVerifier is rarely a good idea, so for the time being I
> have replaced it with and older version of BrowserCompatHostnameVerifier that
> doesn't internally call DefaultHostnameVerifier.
>
> Ideally, I'd like DefaultHostnameVerifier to detect dynamically if
> javax.naming.* classes are available, and switch to an alternate method not
> using them if they are not. That way, HttpClient would work out of the box
> for Android users.
