Sebb commented on HTTPCLIENT-1410:
----------------------------------
I'm inclined to agree. The ccTLD rules vary wildly between country; there are
no rules that are common to all. At best we can hope that the method works most
of the time. It will sometimes be too strict (info.nl) and will sometimes be
too lenient (pvt.k12.ma.us).
> AbstractVerifier.acceptableCountryWildcard check not strict enough

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1410
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1410
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HttpClient
> Affects Versions: 4.3 Final
> Reporter: Sidney Beekhoven
> Priority: Minor
>
> I work at a company called info.nl in the Netherlands, so our domain is
> info.nl. We have a wildcard certificate in use for several services,
> *.info.nl.
> The AbstractVerifier has a method acceptableCountryWildcard which checks that
> you don't use eg *.co.uk as the wildcard in the certificate. The second to
> last domain part is checked against a fixed list, which includes info so our
> wildcard is not accepted.
> Apparantly there are some countries where info.<countrycode> is seen as a top
> level domain but that is not the case for the netherlands. So the check on
> this is not strict enough and should also take into account the top level
> domain.
