'  Call SetSslCertRequirement to require that the SSL server certificate's domain
'  matches only the domain we are intending to communicate with.

'  In this example we will test with the URL https://wrong.host.badssl.com/
'  which intentionally has an SSL certificate that does not match "wrong.host.badssl.com"

http.SetSslCertRequirement("SAN", "wrong.host.badssl.com")

'  Also validate the server cert..
http.RequireSslCertVerify = True

'  Try sending the request.  It should fail within the SSL/TLS handshake
'  because the server's certificate does not match the domain "wrong.host.badssl.com"
