+1,

I think the PureTLS support is not usefull anymore, but the proposed API change looks well.

Before I spend any more time looking at
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44318 am I correct in thinking that PureTLS has never been part of of the TC6 build and that I
could just remove these four files instead?

If we do want to keep PureTLS support the main problem appears to be http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=428884 which added a JSSE
dependency into o.a.t.util.net.SSLImplementation

As far as I can tell, PureTLS doesn't support nio anyway so...

Thoughts?



I remember that there was talk of removing PureTLS support. The PureTLS library isn't actively developed anymore (some security fixes, but not much else), and it still depends on a hacked version of Cryptix. But
nobody has stepped up to actually remove it.

That having been said, I'd prefer to remove the JSSE dependancy from
SSLImplementation, since it makes it nearly impossible to develop a
non-JSSE SSLImplementation (e.g. I there was talk of developing one for Mozilla's SSL stack, but nothing ever happened). Without having thought
it out much, something like changing
   abstract public SSLSupport getSSLSupport(SSLSession session);
to
   abstract public SSLSupport getNioSSLSupport(Socket sock);

if we are gonna remove it, why remove it only for one connector. The code
used is the same by both the BIO and the NIO connector
not sure we need the abstraction at all


I'm for removing support for PureTLS, since it is largely unmaintained at
the moment.  But the abstraction is usefull to be able to support SSL
providers (e.g. Mozilla meantioned above) that don't implement JSSE. It wasn't about getting removing it from the NIO Connecter, just making the
signature not depend on JSSE.  So for JSSE, something like:
   public SSLSupport getNioSSLSupport(Socket sock) {
         return factory.getSSLSupport(((SSLSocket)sock).getSession());
  }

I just prefer to keep where we have plug-in structure such as here, that we
don't just throw it away in favor of only supporting Sun's solution.


In the JSSE case, you can get the SSLSession from the Socket, so it would
be a small change to the existing code.

same code can be reused for both connectors.
