Class ConfigurableX509TrustManager

java.lang.Object
org.archive.httpclient.ConfigurableX509TrustManager
All Implemented Interfaces:
TrustManager, X509TrustManager
public class ConfigurableX509TrustManager extends Object implements X509TrustManager
A configurable trust manager built on X509TrustManager. If set to 'open' trust, the default, will get us into sites for whom we do not have the CA or any of intermediary CAs that go to make up the cert chain of trust. Will also get us past selfsigned and expired certs. 'loose' trust will get us into sites w/ valid certs even if they are just selfsigned. 'normal' is any valid cert not including selfsigned. 'strict' means cert must be valid and the cert DN must match server name.

Based on pointers in SSL Guide, and readings done in JSSE Guide.

TODO: Move to an ssl subpackage when we have other classes other than just this one.
