"HTTPS hostname wrong" for a hostname starts with a number

843811Dec 16 2003 — edited Sep 30 2008

Does anyone know about why HttpsClient throws the error for a hostname starts with a number. I have no problem with other hostname but only for the hostname starts with a number. The certificate works fine with Browser. I am sure the hostname in the certificate and in the request are exactly the same.

I know how to skip the hostname verification, but I don't want to do that for security concern.

Can sun develpoer shed some light how to verify the hostname in HttpsClient?

java.io.IOException: HTTPS hostname wrong: should be
<1company.mydomain.com>
at sun.net.www.protocol.https.HttpsClient.b(DashoA6275)
at sun.net.www.protocol.https.HttpsClient.afterConnect(DashoA6275)
at sun.net.www.protocol.https.AbstractDelegateHttpsURLConnection.connect(DashoA6275)
at sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(HttpURLConnection.java:574)
at sun.net.www.protocol.https.HttpsURLConnectionImpl.getInputStream(DashoA6275)
at java.net.URL.openStream(URL.java:960)

Thanks
