' The RequireHostnameMatch property was added in Chilkat v11.0.0
' to ensure the URL's hostname matches at least one of the server certificate SAN's (Subject Alternative Names)
'
' In actuality, it is the SNI hostname that must match. If the SNI hostname is not explicitly set,
' then Chilkat uses the hostname from the URL as the SNI hostname.
' Here's an example using chilkatsoft.com
' The SSL server certificate for chilkatsoft.com has 2 Subject Alternative Names:
'
' 1) DNS Name: *.chilkatsoft.com
' 2) DNS Name: chilkatsoft.com
'
' See Explaining the SNI Hostname in TLS
set http = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Http")
http.RequireHostnameMatch = 1
' This should succeed because "www.chilkatsoft.com" matches the SAN entry "*.chilkatsoft.com"
html = http.QuickGetStr("https://www.chilkatsoft.com/helloWorld.html")
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "1) Succeeded: " & http.LastMethodSuccess) & "</pre>"
' At the time of writing this example, the IP address for chilkatsoft.com is 3.101.18.47
' If we send the request using the IP address, it will fail because the IP address is does
' not match any of the SAN entries in the server certificate.
html = http.QuickGetStr("https://3.101.18.47/helloWorld.html")
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "2) Succeeded: " & http.LastMethodSuccess) & "</pre>"
' However, it will succeed if we explicitly set the SNI hostname.
http.SniHostname = "www.chilkatsoft.com"
html = http.QuickGetStr("https://3.101.18.47/helloWorld.html")
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "3) Succeeded: " & http.LastMethodSuccess) & "</pre>"
' Remove our explicit SNI hostname.
http.SniHostname = ""
' Now let's try wrong.host.badssl.com
' The SSL server certificate for badssl.com has 2 Subject Alternative Names:
'
' 1) DNS Name: *.badssl.com
' 2) DNS Name: badssl.com
' The domain wrong.host.badssl.com will fail the RequireHostnameMatch because
' the wildcarded domain SAN entry only extends 1 level deep.
html = http.QuickGetStr("https://wrong.host.badssl.com/")
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "4) Succeeded: " & http.LastMethodSuccess) & "</pre>"
' The expected output is:
' 1) Succeeded: True
' 2) Succeeded: False
' 3) Succeeded: True
' 4) Succeeded: False
