Research direction

Start by locating where OkHttp requires X509TrustManager in its TLS setup, then read the related tests and provider-specific code. The issue suggests empty certificate lists or raw handshake access but does not choose an approach; clarify the expected behavior before making changes. Done means custom key/trust managers from other providers are supported and covered by tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

Okhttp with custom key/trust managers should support other providers.

Probably returning an empty list of certs, or raw access to handshake?
