Xuelei,
Before commenting further on the interaction of the HTTP Client with various
contorted configurations, I would like to get a better understanding of the
`jdk.tls.client.protocols` property.
Is there a specification or other documentation describing
`jdk.tls.client.protocols` ?
It is my understanding that the property only affects the *default* protocol’s
( not the supported protocols ) of the *default* context. That is, the context
returned by `SSLContext.getInstance("Default”)`, and the protocol values
returned by the following invocation on that context
`getDefaultSSLParameters().getProtocols()`. Is this correct? If not, what does
it do?
-Chris.
