[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-613?page=all ]

Julius Davies updated HTTPCLIENT-613:
-------------------------------------

    Attachment: SSLSocketFactory_improved.patch

- Better formatting on the curly braces (e.g. "} else {" now on one line).

- A few more comments.

- Hostname verification no longer throws an NPE under IBM 1.4.2 when accessing 
a server that has spurious certificates in its chain.  Instead it throws the 
underlying reason that's actually bothering IBM (IBM-1.4.x hates spurious 
certificates!).


Here's some testing:
=======================================
Ability to deal with spurious certificates in chain.
(I only tested on Linux)

Succeeds:
------------------------
IBM 1.5.0
JRockit 1.4.2
JRockit 1.5.0
Sun 1.4.2
Sun 1.5.0
Sun 1.6.0-rc

Fails:
------------------------
IBM 1.4.2

> https should check CN of x509 cert
> Since we're essentially rolling our own "HttpsURLConnection",  the checking 
> provided by "javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier" is no longer in place.
> I have a patch I'm about to attach which caused both createSocket() methods 
> on o.a.h.conn.ssl.SSLSocketFactory to blowup:
> test1: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: hostname in certificate didn't match: 
> <vancity.com> != <www.vancity.com>
> test2: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: hostname in certificate didn't match: 
> <vancity.com> != <www.vancity.com>
> Hopefully people agree that this is desirable.
