Remarks

Property getter documentation:

Gets the default HostnameVerifier that is inherited by new instances of this class.

Property setter documentation:

Sets the default HostnameVerifier inherited by a new instance of this class.

Developers are <em>strongly</em> discouraged from changing the default HostnameVerifier as #getDefaultHostnameVerifier() is used by several classes for hostname verification on Android. <table> <tr> <th>User</th> <th>Effect</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Android's default TrustManager, as used with Android's default SSLContext, SSLSocketFactory and SSLSocket implementations. </td> <td>The HostnameVerifier is used to verify the peer's certificate hostname after connecting if SSLParameters.setEndpointIdentificationAlgorithm("HTTPS") has been called. Instances use the <em>current</em> default HostnameVerifier at verification time.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>android.net.SSLCertificateSocketFactory</td> <td>The current default HostnameVerifier is used from various createSocket methods. See android.net.SSLCertificateSocketFactory for details; for example android.net.SSLCertificateSocketFactory#createSocket(String, int). </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Android's default HttpsURLConnection implementation.</td> <td>The HostnameVerifier is used after a successful TLS handshake to verify the URI host against the TLS session server. Instances use the default HostnameVerifier set <em>when they were created</em> unless overridden with #setHostnameVerifier(HostnameVerifier). Android's HttpsURLConnection relies on the HostnameVerifier for the <em>entire</em> hostname verification step.</td> </tr> </table>

If this method is not called, the default HostnameVerifier will check the hostname according to RFC 2818.
