HostnameVerifier trusting all hosts

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. connect to a site with a certificate which hostname is not matching the real 
host name

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
it should be possible to ignore the error. instead the following error shows:
hostname in certificate didn't match: <xxx> != <yyyy> OR ...
javax.net.ssl.SSLException: hostname in certificate didn't match: 
...

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

this can be circumvented by doing in the code:
    // Create all-trusting host name verifier
    HostnameVerifier allHostsValid = new HostnameVerifier() {
          public boolean verify(String hostname, SSLSession session) {
            return true;
          }
        };
    HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(allHostsValid);

i guess that one can be closed. there is an option in "SSL" to do exactly this.

the error i got was:
java.io.IOException: Invalid keystore format
