public interface HostnameVerifier

The interface for classes that perform hostname verification for cases when the hostname used to begin the connection (such as in a URL) does not match the hostname used in the SSL handshake. Implementations of this interface should provide an implementation of the #verify(java.lang.String,javax.net.ssl.SSLSession) method that accepts or rejects hostnames as appropriate.
