Which protocol socket factories actually use the truststore in Apache HttpClient?

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • I can see in httpclient-8443.properties of the webservice_proxy_security quickstart there are four protocol socket factories:
#protocol-socket-factory=org.apache.commons.httpclient.contrib.ssl.StrictSSLProtocolSocketFactory
protocol-socket-factory=org.apache.commons.httpclient.contrib.ssl.EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory
#protocol-socket-factory=org.jboss.soa.esb.http.protocol.SelfSignedSSLProtocolSocketFactoryBuilder
#protocol-socket-factory=org.jboss.soa.esb.http.protocol.AuthSSLProtocolSocketFactoryBuilder
  • Among the above protocol socket factories, I found that EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory in fact does not use the truststore property and thus does not perform hostname verification.
  • Which ones actually use the truststore property?

Environment
