--------------------------------------
Assignee: Sebastian Nagel
> HTTP protocols to verify TLS/SSL certificates by default
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NUTCH-3221
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-3221
> Project: Nutch
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: protocol
> Affects Versions: 1.23
> Reporter: Sebastian Nagel
> Assignee: Sebastian Nagel
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.24
>
>
> Verification of SSL/TLS certificates is off by default
> (http.tls.certificates.check = false).
> If verification is off, a no-op X509TrustManager is used in the protocol
> implementations to bypass the verification.
> For a web crawler, it can be a valid use case to skip the certificate
> verification, in order to crawl sites with expired or self-signed
> certificates. But this shouldn't be the default.
