>    Affects Versions: 0.9.0.1, 0.10.0.0

>
> The default `ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm` is `null` which is not a 
> secure default (man in the middle attacks are possible).
> We should probably use `https` instead. A more conservative alternative would 
> be to update the documentation instead of changing the default.
> A paper on the topic (thanks to Ryan Pridgeon for the reference):
