Bill Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Nope. Hostname verification was never a good idea -- the "hostname" is just a vague notion, at best -- lots of hostnames can map to one or more IP addresses of the server. It's exposed to the application code, so if a client application wants to do it, it can. But I recommend against it. It's a complication that doesn't belong in the basic support, that is, the SSL module. I'll add a note to this effect in the documentation.
