Motivation:
Under Android it was not possible to load a specific web page. It might be related to the (missing?) ALPN of the internal TLS implementation. BouncyCastle as a replacement works but this was not supported so far by Netty.
BouncyCastle also has the benefit to be a pure Java solution, all the other providers (OpenSSL, Conscrypt) require native libraries which are not available under Android at least.
Modification:
BouncyCastleAlpnSslEngine.java and support classes have been added. It is relying on the JDK code, hence some support classes had to be opened to prevent code duplication.
Result:
BouncyCastle can be used as TLS provider.
