Hi folks, while working on HTTPCLIENT-690, I got confused by an earlier decision of mine: to keep the name of the SecureSocketFactory interface. The defining characteristic for that interface is not that the sockets are secure, but that they are layered on top of other sockets. If you don't need SSL tunnelling through proxies, you might as well implement the plain SocketFactory interface to create SSL sockets. And whether a socket should be considered secure might depend on more than just whether it's an SSL socket.
I have renamed the interface to LayeredSocketFactory. That should help to distinguish the three concepts (layered, SSL, secure) in the future. cheers, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
