Motivation:
d8e6fbb9c3 attempted to account for the JDK not throwing the expected SSLHandshakeException by allowing a SSLException to also pass the test. However in some situations the SSLException will not be the top level exception and the Throwable must be unwrapped to see if the root cause is an SSLException.
Modifications:
- Unwrap exceptions thrown by the JDK's SSLEngine to check for SSLException.
Result:
SSLEngineTest (and derived classes) are more reliable.
If you are on Linux, you need additional development packages installed on your system, because you'll build the native transport.
Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.
Branches to look
Development of all versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to <majorVersion>.<minorVersion>. For example, the development of 3.9 and 4.0 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.0' respectively.
