Issue #1842 has been updated by luke.

Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs design decision

If I'm reading this correctly, this is really bad.  This is basically saying 
you have two choices:  Verify both the certificate and that the hostname 
matches, or do no verification at all.

We currently support a third choice: Verify the certificate but not the 
hostname.

Am I reading this right?

Bug #1842: Net::HTTP#enable_post_connection_check doesn't work anymore
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/show/1842

Author: caikevin
Status: Needs design decision
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: 
Category: 
Target version: 
Complexity: Unknown
Affected version: 0.24.7
Keywords: enable_post_connection_check


one of the #896 bug fixing, adding http_enable_post_connection_check option 
against the requested host name in new versions of ruby (see revision 36c947, 
f94d6d).

However, below changelog can be found from ruby rpms:

   ruby-1.8.6.111-CVE-2007-5162.patch: Update a bit with backporting the changes
   at trunk to enable the fix without any modifications on the users' scripts.
   Note that Net::HTTP#enable_post_connection_check isn't available anymore.
   If you want to disable this post-check, you should give 
OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
   to Net::HTTP#verify_mode= instead of.

Since HTTP#enable_post_connection_check isn't avaiable anymore, but puppet 
doesn't give the corresponding fix.
