X509HostnameVerifier

public interface X509HostnameVerifier
implements HostnameVerifier

org.apache.http.conn.ssl.X509HostnameVerifier


This interface was deprecated in API level 22.
Please use URL.openConnection() instead. Please visit this webpage for further details.

Interface for checking if a hostname matches the names stored inside the server's X.509 certificate. Implements javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier, but we don't actually use that interface. Instead we added some methods that take String parameters (instead of javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier's SSLSession). JUnit is a lot easier this way! :-)

We provide the HostnameVerifier.DEFAULT, HostnameVerifier.STRICT, and HostnameVerifier.ALLOW_ALL implementations. But feel free to define your own implementation!

Inspired by Sebastian Hauer's original StrictSSLProtocolSocketFactory in the HttpClient "contrib" repository.

verify

Added in API level 1
public abstract void verify (String host, 
                String[] cns, 
                String[] subjectAlts)

Checks to see if the supplied hostname matches any of the supplied CNs or "DNS" Subject-Alts. Most implementations only look at the first CN, and ignore any additional CNs. Most implementations do look at all of the "DNS" Subject-Alts. The CNs or Subject-Alts may contain wildcards according to RFC 2818.

Parameters
host String: The hostname to verify.

cns String: CN fields, in order, as extracted from the X.509 certificate.

subjectAlts String: Subject-Alt fields of type 2 ("DNS"), as extracted from the X.509 certificate.

Throws
SSLException If verification failed.

verify

Added in API level 1
public abstract boolean verify (String host, 
                SSLSession session)

Verify that the host name is an acceptable match with the server's authentication scheme.

Parameters
host String: the host name

session SSLSession: SSLSession used on the connection to host

Returns
boolean true if the host name is acceptable
