How do I configure a HostnameVerifier on an HttpsURLConnection?

Dwayne Schultz The solution:
connection.setHostnameVerifier(new HostnameVerifier() { public boolean verify(String urlHostname, String certHostname) { return ("www.badcert.com".equalsIgnoreCase(certHostname) && "xyz.badcert.com".equalsIgnoreCase(urlHostname)) } });Here I'm using a HostnameVerifier (in an anonymous class) to overlook a certificate name mismatch. In this case the vendor 'badcert.com' is using their 'www.badcert.com' on their 'xyz.badcert.com' server.
