Please help - HTTPS hostname wrong.

Sorry for posting this message again. It may just be a quick help from any of you.

I have a simple https client that produced the following error message -

" java.io.IOException: HTTPS hostname wrong: should be <test.cat.com>, but cert says <*.cat.com> "

I thought that the * is the wild card,thus test.cat.com should be accepted. Any ideas?

Thanks, Jack
