Actually, I need to be more specific with the problem:

1. The application is running an embedded Jetty server.

2. Jetty is set up to as specified following the LikeJettyXML.

3. Some clients within the application may communicate to 3rd party hosts
over SSL. This should not be related to any of the SSL settings for Jetty.

4. Before communicating to the 3rd party, the user may want to trust all
certificates. In which case the all-trusting manager is setup (as per
previous email).

5. This all worked fine before the upgrade to Jetty (9.2.13.v20150730). But
I cannot understand why the upgrade would effect this since this is not
making requests to the server but out to another server.

Any help would be appreciated. It seems to me this is not a Jetty problem,
but I thought I would put it by the group to make sure.
