Class DefaultHostnameVerifier

java.lang.Object

com.ning.http.util.DefaultHostnameVerifier

All Implemented Interfaces:

HostnameVerifier

public class DefaultHostnameVerifier
extends Object
implements HostnameVerifier

Uses the internal HostnameChecker to verify the server's hostname matches with the certificate. This is a requirement for HTTPS, but the raw SSLEngine does not have this functionality. As such, it has to be added in manually. For a more complete description of hostname verification and why it's important, please read Fixing Hostname Verification.

This code is based on Kevin Locke's guide .

Constructor Detail

DefaultHostnameVerifier

public DefaultHostnameVerifier()

A hostname verifier that uses the {{sun.security.util.HostnameChecker}} under the hood.

DefaultHostnameVerifier

public DefaultHostnameVerifier(HostnameChecker checker)

A hostname verifier that takes an external hostname checker. Useful for testing.

Parameters:

checker - a hostnamechecker.

DefaultHostnameVerifier

public DefaultHostnameVerifier(HostnameVerifier extraHostnameVerifier)

A hostname verifier that falls back to another hostname verifier if not found.

Parameters:

extraHostnameVerifier - another hostname verifier.

DefaultHostnameVerifier

public DefaultHostnameVerifier(HostnameChecker checker,
                               HostnameVerifier extraHostnameVerifier)

A hostname verifier with a hostname checker, that falls back to another hostname verifier if not found.

Parameters:

checker - a custom HostnameChecker.

extraHostnameVerifier - another hostname verifier.

Method Detail

verify

public boolean verify(String hostname,
                      SSLSession session)

Verifies the hostname against the peer certificates in a session. Falls back to extraHostnameVerifier if there is no match.

Specified by:

verify in interface HostnameVerifier

Parameters:

hostname - the IP address or hostname of the expected server.

session - the SSL session containing the certificates with the ACTUAL hostname/ipaddress.

Returns:

true if the hostname matches, false otherwise.
