// The CN better have at least two dots if it wants wildcard action.

According to your code.. If I am not mistaken .co.uk contains at least 2 dots...
And officially (just had to deal with that issue), you need a wildcard
certificate for every subdomain so :
*.apache.org is a wildcard cerficiate for hostname.apache.org (just that level).
If you want to have a valid certifacate for eg subhostname.hostname.apache.org,
you need to get a *.subhostname.hostname.apache.org certificate for that
seperately (although browsers seem to accept this stuff).
I chose to have an hostname verifier setup that accepts above, but that is just
used for staging and test environments (to prevent us from buyin a huge load of
certificates)
HTH..

> https should check CN of x509 cert
> Since we're essentially rolling our own "HttpsURLConnection", the checking

> I have a patch I'm about to attach which caused both createSocket() methods
> on o.a.h.conn.ssl.SSLSocketFactory to blowup:
> test1: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: hostname in certificate didn't match:
> <vancity.com> != <www.vancity.com>
> test2: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: hostname in certificate didn't match:
> <vancity.com> != <www.vancity.com>
> Hopefully people agree that this is desirable.
