-----------------------------------------

             Summary: HostnameVerifier does not support using IP address in CN
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-2280
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2280
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 5.0.4
            Reporter: Yannick Dylla


Hi,
we are migrating from the 4.x client to 5.x and noticed that the behavior of 
the DefaultHostnameVerifier changed. Since HTTPCLIENT-2149 
https://github.com/apache/httpcomponents-client/pull/302 the HostnameVerifier 
does no longer accept certificates with an ip address in its CN and with no 
subject alts. Verification fails with "Certificate for <127.0.0.1> doesn't 
match any of the subject alternative names: []".

I know using ip addresses in the CN is not really recommended or good practice, 
but I also see no reason to not use the `matchCN` fallback in this case. The 
functionality was probably just removed by accident with HTTPCLIENT-2149.

I will open A github PR with my proposed solution once I know the number of 
this issue :)
